  • St Irenee, la Cabane du Pecheur<br />
Charlevoix is a cultural and natural region located in Quebec, on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River as well as in the Laurentian Mountains area of the Canadian Shield. This dramatic landscape includes rolling terrain, fjords, headlands and bays; the region was designated a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1989.<br />
<br />
The topography of this region was dramatically altered by a meteorite impact that occurred 350 million years ago creating the Charlevoix crater.<br />
The impact created the forty-mile-wide crater that is the heart of Quebec's Charlevoix region, ranging from just west of Baie-Saint-Paul to just east of La Malbaie. Today, the area inside the crater is home to 90 percent of Charlevoix residents and is a very pastoral setting by comparison to what it could have been.<br />
The region was named after Pierre François-Xavier de Charlevoix, a French Jesuit explorer and historian who travelled through the area in the 18th century.

Frescoes located on the pillars of the Dufferin-Montmorency Highway built between 2000 and 2002 at the instigation of Hélène Fleury, Quebec artist who collaborated in the "Fresque des Québécois".
These are the only frescoes in Quebec city who do not represent the history of the city but rather imaginary scenes. 
Among them, the fresco "The Cathedral" represents the inside and the outside of a cathedral on each side of the pillar, inspired by the Sainte Chapelle in Paris. 
The fresco "Chivalrous tales" introduce us into the world of tales with princess, knight and magician, while "The Clock" illustrates the mechanisms and workings of this object.
Finally "Homage to Quebec circuses" introduces observers to the circus world and its actors, jugglers, clowns and acrobats.the "Historic District of Old Québec".

The organ would sometimes play music without anyone sitting there and the ghost of a woman sometimes appears near the altar. It is said that during her visit in 1987, Queen Elizabeth II herself saw a specter of a woman near the organ, looking down the railing.

  • The Morrin Centre is located on the former site of the Redoute Royale, a 1712 defensive structure that was later used as a prison. By the late 18th century, this building had fallen into disrepair. The members of Quebec’s grand jury called for it to be demolished and replaced with a new prison on the site.<br />
he building was transformed by architect Joseph-Ferdinand Peachy to house a college and library.<br />
Morrin College, the first English-language institute of higher education in Quebec City, existed between the years 1862 and 1902. It was founded at the initiative of Dr. Joseph Morrin, former city mayor and prominent doctor. The College initially occupied rooms rented from the Masonic Temple before moving into the remodelled gaol building.<br />

Among them, the fresco "The Cathedral" represents the inside and the outside of a cathedral on each side of the pillar, inspired by the Sainte Chapelle in Paris.
