Overview of the Region

River Drive

The River Drive area runs some fifty kilometers from Baie-Saint-Paul to La Malbaie, winding along the majestic St. Lawrence River in a procession of breathtaking views. It includes Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive, a historic municipality known for its maritime heritage, where visitors can take a free ferry ride to Isle-aux-Coudres. The area also comprises the municipalities of Les Éboulements and Saint-Irénée.

Each municipality has its own special attractions, such as the mill in Les Éboulements built in 1790; the Santons de Charlevoix shop; Saint-Gilles Paper Mill; the Charlevoix Maritime Museum in Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive; and Domaine Forget, the site of the international music festival in Sainte-Irénée each summer. The natural calm of the region and the spectacular meeting of the St. Lawrence River and the Laurentian Mountains have made it a popular destination through the years.
