Charlevoix, where you can experience fall to the fullest

For a fall vacation marked by simplicity

Staying in a Charlevoix bed & breakfast in the fall is a chance to experience the season the way you want. In the morning, you can enjoy your coffee while listening to the quietness, interrupted only by the rustling of the wind or a morning bird. You can go for a walk on a path covered with red and golden leaves, taking leisurely steps and listening attentively to the sounds of the forest. You stop to admire a view of the river glistening in the distance, watch a bird, or spot a fish in the water. These accommodations, often surrounded by spectacular scenery, offer direct contact with nature, without artifice, and allow you to feel far away from everything, yet close to what really matters.

A welcome you won’t soon forget

What makes the experience of a Charlevoix vacation unique is the connection with the hosts at the B&Bs. Behind any door, you’ll meet someone who knows the region inside out and is happy to share it with you. You get to chat about the joys of taking time off in the fall, the year's harvest, and the history of the surrounding villages. Between stories, you’ll get tips on where to find a beautiful beach revealed at low tide, a path that leads to a spot that’s not on any map, a hole-in-the-wall gourmet shop or a local favourite. This human warmth transforms an ordinary getaway into a memorable experience that you'll want to share with others.

A morning filled with homegrown flavours

When you wake up, your day begins with mouthwatering local flavours. Artisanal bread still warm from the oven, cheese aged and processed just a few miles away, homemade jams with pure ingredients, fruit picked from a nearby orchard. Every bite tells a story of passion and expertise. It's not just breakfast, it's a meet-and-greet with the land. Foodies in particular won't want to miss a trip along the Charlevoix Flavour Trail during their trip–it’s a chance to discover a wide range of local products in an atmosphere marked by authenticity and tradition.

And to add to the pleasure, several B&Bs in Charlevoix sell local products, such as spreads, syrups and cheeses, on site, so that you can take a little piece of Charlevoix back home with you and remember the golden light of your vacation days.
