Our Hygge advice

Take the time to stroll along the wharf after your visit. The sea air, the sound of the waves, and the view of the river offer a soothing break. It is the perfect spot for a short post-meal walk or to admire the sunset over the St. Lawrence.

‍

Book your stay

The Charlevoix Maritime Museum opens the doors to the fascinating history of navigation on the St. Lawrence. Housed in a former shipyard, the museum invites you to climb aboard authentic schooners, explore interactive exhibits, and discover the daily lives of sailors and boat builders. A rich and accessible cultural experience that will appeal to both adults and children.

For a complete experience, combine your museum visit with a 4 km hike on the Marine Forest Trail, which starts nearby. This easy trail will lead you through a coastal forest to magnificent viewpoints overlooking the river. An ideal way to combine nature and culture in a single outing.
