Tourisme Charlevoix

Charlevoix is a natural and authentic tourist region which extends from the village of Petite-Rivière-Saint-François to the mouth of the Saguenay, on the North shore of the St. Lawrence River. Offering stunning scenery and viewpoints, the Charlevoix region owes its particular topography to a meteorite impact 400 million years ago that shaped a 54-km diameter crater whose central upturn is the mount of Les Éboulements. Various glaciations modeled the area, leaving several traces as a testimony to their occurrences.
