In Charlevoix, mountain and sea combine to create a setting that can only be described as spellbinding. A succession of capes flank the coast;
charming villages nestle on mountainsides and in peaceful coves.
Along the road, fertile fields are interspersed with stunning glimpses of backcountry peaks. A resort destination par excellence, the Charlevoix region combines year-round quality accommodations with an extraordinary range of outdoor and cultural activities, including the Festival international du Domaine Forget, which marries classical music and jazz.
Charlevoix can thank a huge meteorite that fell to Earth some 350 million years ago, on what is today the site of the village Les Éboulements, for its magnificent geography. In 1988, a large part of the region was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
