Summer in Charlevoix
June → September

The magic of summer

From June to September, summer in Charlevoix transforms the region into a life-size playground. Between the mountains, the St. Lawrence River and the historic villages of Baie-Saint-Paul and La Malbaie, the Charlevoix region reveals landscapes that are unique to Quebec at every turn of the road.

During these few precious days when the summer season is in full swing, each trail, each beach and each art gallery tells a different story. It is the ideal season to experience the outdoors in a different way, far from the city, at the slow pace of nature and the river.
