With more than two centuries of history, La Malbaie is considered as the cradle of vacationing in Canada. Wandering on the rue du Quai in Pointe-au-Pic, or slowly climbing the chemin des Falaises, lets the visitor discover the bucolic charm of marine landscapes and the bourgeois homes from another century. Here, all is possible : following the beautiful road leading to the departure point for whale-watching cruises, tearing down the snowy slopes of Mont Grand-Fonds, visiting the staple Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu, trying your luck at the Casino de Charlevoix, or breathing the sea air on the cycling path alongside the Saint-Lawrence.
