No suprise to anybody that knows me...
I love the Charlevoix region of Quebec...
It seems to be my favourite area to write about
since
I already posted about this region here

travelling through all the small villages on my way to Tadoussac
is what makes the trip so interesting...
and of course...
a must is to follow the route...
362 when you leave Baie St. Paul.
This time we hit Baie St. Paul by lunch which meant a
stop at the restaurant...
the menu is small and the food local...
and the experience unforgettable!!
I had the lamb burger with local Charlevoix lamb
and my friend loved the salmon...
and my friend loved the salmon...
I will be heading back...that is for sure!!
This is the church in the heart of the village and the point at which you turn to follow the 362. |
Just outside of Baie St. Paul near the exit for Iles aux Coudres.
typical homes that dot the countryside...
notice the roof slope.
This year we stopped in Cap à L'Aigle at the gardens,
6 dollars to get in and if you make it there by mid to late June
then you get
to enjoy the lovely variety of lilacs.
I have to admit we were a bit between seasons but the wild roses
were gorgeous!

These gardens are approximately 30 minutes from Baie St. Paul.
I think probably though,
my favourite part of any of these trips is this....
admiring these lovely wooden homes!
The verandas are enticing!

What a great post for Mosaic Mondays. The homes and country side are lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour! I love the sloped roof houses. A lot of Acadians here also build them that way. Beautiful flower gardens too!
ReplyDeleteHi! I grew up on the North Shore but left the province long ago for other pursuits... & now I'm on the opposite end of the country. Thanks for the photos of all the places I used to know so well. Feels like I never left!!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Well, it is such a beautiful part of the country and many people do not get to see it or simply do not know about it. I can never get enough!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to visiting this region soon. It really is lovely!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty spot! I love those beautiful houses, too!
ReplyDeleteWell, if anybody needs a planned road trip, just ask, I really love this area! Got it all figured out....I think! :)
