 Baie-Saint-Paul and surrounding area A favorite of Canada’s Group of Seven painters, the birthplace of the celebrated Cirque du Soleil, and a heritage town with over 85 century-old homes, Baie-Saint-Paul is nestled in a valley that still draws artists to this day. Take a walk along its many narrow streets lined with charming boutiques and art galleries—it’s a great way to discover and fully enjoy one of Québec’s oldest municipalities. Nearby Petite-Rivière-Saint-François, a scenic six-kilometer drive down the mountain to the St. Lawrence River, is another favorite of visitors. Leading attractions in this spectacularly beautiful part of the country include the Carrefour culturel Paul-Médéric and Exhibition Center, which hosts the International Symposium of New Painting in Canada in August each year; Maison René-Richard and Le Massif de Petite-Rivière-Saint-François.
