Charlevoix
Activities
Charlevoix, Quebec, runs four seasons for good reasons: skiing, snowboarding, and sledding at Le Massif de Charlevoix; shopping in the galleries and sipping in the microbrew pubs along Baie-Saint-Paul’s narrow Saint-Jean-Baptiste Street; and scanning the water for seals while sea kayaking in the Parc Marin du Saguenay-Saint-Laurent. Whatever the time of year, sample Charlevoix-made specialties from some of Canada’s finest artisanal cheesemakers along with house-made pâte, smoked salmon, and chocolates.Transportation
Drive along the St. Lawrence River coast and then follow the rolling hills of the aptly named Flavour Trail, dotted with more than 40 farms, mills, and breweries open for tastings and tours.Food & Drink
Arrive hungry! Try seasonally fresh assortments of regional dishes like bouillabaisse and scallops, beet mousse, and baked brie, hand-sliced, smoked meat sandwiches on rye. Wash it down with a bottle of La Vache Folle, the creamy milk stout from local MicroBrasserie Charlevoix Beers, named 2012 Canadian Brewery of the Year by beer blogger and critic Stephen Beaumont.Unfortunately there are no self-catering offers at this location at the moment.
