Baie-du-Sainte-Paul. (An hour and a half drive from Quebec City)

Touring Charlevoix area. It was impacted by a huge meteorite fall 350 million years ago. The scenery is forested hills and deep valleys.

Baie-du-saint-Paul is a very quaint artists town with cute shops and restaurants. 

We called at a restaurant 

The …. Le saint pub and vince had a melt in the mouth steak and I tried Poutine for the first time. 

Did I like it ? Yes I did!

It’s cheese curds from the local area with beer gravy and sweet potato chips. The gravy was a bit salty but I also had the local cider with it and water. 

It was bizarre I wanted to order mine completely in French which I did perfectly with help from the menu 👌

But everything I said, the waitress translated into English after I said my French version. Did she want to practise her English? Or was my French poor pronunciation ? 🤣🤣

 There were loads of beautiful art shops and clothes shops as well as places to eat. This is a tourists skiing area in the winter.

The rain started and thunder rolling in the far valleys. It was cooler. We headed back to Quebec passing through a storm and then blue skies once more.

It is sunny and warm again here.

I hope you get a feel of Baie du Saint Paul from my photos xx
