Charlevoix County draws people who value river views, mountain air, and a lively cultural scene. Set between the St. Lawrence and ancient highlands formed by a meteor impact, its towns—like Baie‑Saint‑Paul and La Malbaie—offer galleries, cafés, and year‑round events within an easy drive of Quebec City and Saguenay. Outdoor lovers can roam the sculpted valleys of Parc national des Grands‑Jardins and the dramatic walls of Parc national des Hautes‑Gorges‑de‑la‑Rivière‑Malbaie, both managed by Sépaq, with detailed info at their official pages: Grands‑Jardins and Hautes‑Gorges. Winter brings deep snow and big views at Le Massif de Charlevoix, while the Train de Charlevoix stitches together shoreline villages in summer and fall.
Arts thrive here, from studio tours to the acclaimed Musée d’art contemporain de Baie‑Saint‑Paul. Local menus lean farm‑to‑table, with cheesemakers, microbreweries, and riverside eateries adding flavor to weekend plans—whether before a round at the Manoir or a concert at sunset.
Families appreciate strong public schools under the Centre de services scolaire de Charlevoix, plus vocational programs and nearby post‑secondary pathways. Healthcare is anchored by the modern Hôpital de Baie‑Saint‑Paul, complemented by services across the region and in neighboring Charlevoix‑Est County.
