Baie-Saint-Paul nestles in the hollow of a valley and has incredible scenery. The imposing river, frozen in the winter and blue in the summer, makes this town in Charlevoix region very special.
The little city of Baie-Saint-Paul is where a troupe of stilt walkers that would later become Cirque du Soleil was first established.
My suggestion
Hiking enthusiasts are well-served by Grands-Jardins National Park, which lies close to Baie-Saint-Paul and forms the gateway to the Charlevoix region.

Baie Saint Paul is in a forested area of Charlevoix, half-way between Quebec and Tadoussac, and attractive to everyone who loves the wide open spaces of nature !
My suggestion
The town of Baie-Saint-Paul has nothing special to see, and if you aren't a great nature lover or keen walker then there's no point spending much time there...

Le Balcon Vert is a camp site looking over the town, much used by hippies in the summer. There is a singing around the camp fire to while away the summer nights.
If you are taking off for Canada, and especially for Quebec, we can help you plan so you can travel eco-responsibly! Because Quebec has its own eco-tourism label: Aventure Écotourisme Québec. You can trust them... but still keep your eyes open!
