The Itinerary
Baie-Saint-Paul is one of Quebec's most inspiring cities. Nestled in a meteor crater (the Charlevoix region is an astrobleme), surrounded by mountains and open to the St. Lawrence, it's the birthplace of painters like Clarence Gagnon and Jean-Paul Lemieux.
The drive from Quebec City on Route 138 passes the Côte-de-Beaupré, Île d'Orléans and Cap Tourmente. Baie-Saint-Paul has the highest concentration of art galleries per capita in Canada.
