After the charm of Baie-Saint-Paul, it’s time to take the St. Lawrence Route, one of the most beautiful scenic drives in North America. Let yourself be whisked away along 45 km of breathtaking landscapes, which unfold with unrestrained abandon. Your sense of wonder will grow with every bend

Les Éboulements and Saint-Irénée

Since the idea of the St. Lawrence Route stretching on forever is so appealing, take a few stops along the way to prolong the fun. Whether it’s art, culture or local cuisine you’re after, a visit to these small coastal towns will delight those who dare to venture in.

The Chocolaterie du Village offers a delicious range of irresistible fine chocolates. A pleasant meeting with the owners of Ferme Éboulmontaise or Alpagas Charlevoix is a welcome way to understand the passion that drives the local people. Take a peaceful stroll through the Jardin harmonique de Sculptures at Domaine Forget de Charlevoix, where monumental works by some 20 local sculptors are on display. Finally, press “pause” long enough for a visit to Les Ateliers Charlevoix in Saint-Irénée and plunge into the fantastic world of a remarkably talented potter.

La Malbaie

After travelling the St. Lawrence Route, it’s La Malbaie’s turn to welcome visitors with open arms. In this town with its timeless charm, which has been attracting tourists looking for peace, fresh air and beauty for over 200 years, you can settle in and enjoy a wide range of activities. Breathe in the sea air on a pleasant stroll along the shores of the St. Lawrence, luxuriate in the warmth of a hot tub, learn about the region’s rich history at the Musée de Charlevoix, climb incredible rock faces with Projet Vertical, enjoy the cuisine or have some fun at the Casino de Charlevoix. La Malbaie is one of the highlights of this itinerary.
