For those unfamiliar with popular tech lingo, let’s be clear: when we say “Instagrammable” places, we’re obviously talking about the popular mobile app, but it’s much more than that. These are places that make you want to share them with as many people as possible, because of their great beauty, in this case.

So here’s a list of Instagrammable places to take your best fall photos and experience some golden moments in the process. Check out the colour map to see the changes in real time by geographic zone.

Chemin des Sœurs in Baie-Saint-Paul

Located behind Maison Mère, a former convent with three steeples, there’s a path that crosses the fields and leads down to the beach. You’ll walk across a pretty carpet of leaves under the tall elms. Taking a slight detour in behind the Hôtel & Spa Le Germain Charlevoix, you’ll come face to face with the imposing animals on their farmstead and see the large beautiful sunflowers near the vegetable garden, with the colourful mountains as a backdrop.

There’s plenty of inspiration for beautiful fall portraits steeped in history. To heat up your walk, drop in at the Mousse Café, located at the trailhead, and grab your favourite hot brew.
