Luxury stay at the new Club Med Québec Charlevoix

Inaugurated in December 2021 at the foot of the Massif slopes, in Petite-Rivière-Saint-François, Club Med Québec Charlevoix offers real all-inclusive stays.

It is the first Club Med mountain village in North America. In addition to its spectacular views of the St. Lawrence, its restaurants, its spa, its swimming pool and its other facilities worthy of the most beautiful “resorts”, it allows you to enjoy several activities in the Massif, starting with the downhill skiing in the winter and hiking or mountain biking in the summer.

In autumn, the gondola rides are not to be missed to enjoy the colors.

SUP and taco excursion

Paddling to a deserted island in the Portneuf Regional Natural Park at sunset and then enjoying a three-course meal featuring local products from the region: this is what the company O Pagaie is offering this summer with its original activity ” Taco Island. The outing allows you to discover the landscapes of Lac Long and even to paddle with a headlamp on the way back. As for delicacies, participants are entitled to tacos (vegetarian and non-vegetarian), a meat and cheese platter and small desserts.

Note that the company also offers other excursions combining pleasures on the water and gourmet pleasures.

Visit to the Mosaïcultures

This is the first time this year that the Mosaïcultures are presented in Quebec. Installed in the Bois-de-Boulogne park until October 10, 2022, the exhibition presents no less than 200 “plant sculptures”, for a total of 6 million flowers and plants. Everything is under the theme of “Once upon a time… the Earth” and is a tribute to the beauty and fragility of our planet.
