A delicious way to explore the flavours of Charlevoix is to visit its many public markets. From May to October, their stalls brim with colourful local products bursting with freshness. During the season, several municipalities—including Baie-Saint-Paul and La Malbaie—invite growers, processors and artisans from all over the region to share their passion and the fruits of their labour with visitors.

Folks who are curious can stroll from stand to stand to admire and breathe in the mushrooms, herbs, cheeses, fruits and vegetables, and other homegrown or homemade products. Hikers will find ripe fruit to enjoy on their next expedition. Refined palates will delight at ingredients typical to Charlevoix that’ll elevate their recipes. The more spontaneous can take the opportunity to fill up on provisions for their next picnic. Whatever type of foodie you are, this taste and cultural experience is sure to arouse all your senses.

Visiting a public market, farm or garden is a unique opportunity to meet local producers.
