Charlevoix, Quebec

In Charlevoix, mountain and sea combine to form a setting that can only be described as spellbinding. Charlevoix can thank a meteorite that fell to Earth some 350 million years ago for its magnificent geography. In 1988, a large part of the region was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. In this jealously guarded territory, two national parks are a haven for nature lovers: Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie, where deep valleys slice through imposing peaks; and Parc national des Grands-Jardins, land of taiga, tundra and caribou. There's much to admire on the St. Lawrence Route, which links Baie-Saint-Paul and La Malbaie. The Route des Saveurs ("flavour trail") is a gastronomic voyage of discovery with one regional specialty after another and from Saint-Siméon or Baie-Sainte-Catherine, head off to do some whale watching at the Saguenay—St. Lawrence Marine Park.
