Charlevoix – Quebec

Baie-Saint-Paul
While BSP promotes itself as artisan community, you need to head further north to experience the Charlevoix artisan.  Main street in BSP is store after store of bric-brac an not local artisans.  There is an abundance of statuary on display around town.  However the drive into and out of BSP is itself worth the trip.  

La Malbaie
The 362 path from BSP to La Malbaie offers one vista after another of the St Lawrence river.  Expect delays due to road work.  The wait for the road work allows the driver a chance to enjoy the vistas.  There are plenty of passing lane sections so be patient of the faster and slower drivers.  The road goes from sea level to 2000 feet a dozen times.  Enjoy the travelling.
