Charlevoix, a verdant jewel in Quebec's crown and a World
Biosphere Reserve
Chalets Mont-Sainte-Anne is located at the gates of the splendid
region of Charlevoix, adopted home of many of Quebec's finest
painters.

to the sea, rolling fields bordered by the boreal forest
and picturesque villages, such as Pointe-au-Pic (La Malbaie),
with great golfing, fine dining and casino.
