Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive

A Living Maritime History.

Formerly a schooner village, now merged with Les Éboulements, this village community offers a unique maritime experience with the Charlevoix Maritime Museum. Through its schooners, buildings, and exhibits, the museum tells the rich maritime history of the Charlevoix region.

The Santons de Charlevoix, where artisans craft small hand-painted terracotta figurines, and the Papeterie Saint-Gilles, a globally recognized museum producing luxury paper using traditional methods, are also worth a visit to better appreciate the local cultural wealth.

It is also the starting point for the crossing to Île-aux-Coudres, a must-visit excursion to further explore the treasures of the region.

Once prized as a resort destination from the early last century, this village now offers a variety of accommodations and restaurants, perpetuating its tourist vocation. You will be welcomed with care and attention by the local residents.
