The beauty of fall in Charlevoix is known for sparkling scenery, but did you known it’s also a great time to see whales? September and October are ideal months for observing the 13 species of cetaceans that live in the St. Lawrence. And as the weather cools, their warm breath is even more visible than in summer. Whether you’re on a cruise or on land, you’ll enjoy marvelling at the flamboyant landscapes and the incredible show put on by marine mammals. Everything you need for a picture-perfect fall getaway!
