In Charlevoix, autumn is the season of wonder for all five senses. The spectacle of richly coloured foliage, the cool breeze on your face, the smell of damp earth, the cracking of branches in the forest, and the flavours of the harvest at peak freshness.

The agritourism experience is unforgettable at this time of year, when just-picked fruits and vegetables abound. From apples and pears to squash and pumpkin, several options are available when it comes to pick-your-own farms. And why not hit the Flavour Trail, where you can take part in tastings, meet local producers and discover delights crafted with local ingredients?

One thing’s for sure—summer has nothing on fall. In fact, the cooler weather lends itself well to a host of activities. Not to mention the second summer, which provides a brief opportunity to savour a few last days of warmer temperatures. Hiking, cycling, whale-watching, golf: these visitor favourites are still available from September to November, and come with the bonus of enjoying them against a backdrop of breathtaking hues.
