About La Malbaie, QC

Visitors always treasure the time they spend in and around Québec's spectacular Charlevoix Region. La Malbaie, a riverside community first settled in the 17th century, owes its name to Samuel de Champlain, who spent the night here only to find that the bay went completely dry at low tide – "Ah! La malle baye!" he bemoaned. The area has long been considered a haven for tourists, who adore its inviting inns and hotels and lovely topography. The quaint villages to the north – Saint-Siméon, Pointe-au-Persil and Cap-à-la-Aigle – must not be missed. Plan a day to head south on scenic Route 362 and explore Les Éboulements, St-Joseph-de-la-Rive and the island community of L'Île-aux-Coudres. Of course, a whale-watching tour is a must, with tours leaving from Baie-Sainte-Catherine or Tadoussac, both of which lie at the entrance of the dramatic Saguenay Fjord. Sightseeing isn't all, though, as nearby Baie-Saint-Paul is a shopper and art-collector's haven. Most will agree that Charlevoix cuisine is nothing short of superb, featuring fresh seafood, wild game and local produce.

La Malbaie, QC Factoid
The home of countless noteworthy artists and craftspeople, Québec's Charlevoix region is littered with fascinating (and tempting) little galleries and boutique shops, making it dangerous to the bank account. Baie-Saint-Paul has long been a haven for area painters. Meanwhile, to the north of La Malbaie, pottery reigns supreme, with places like Poterie-au-Persil and Poterie Bertrand leading the way.
