Auberge des Eaux Vives

We stayed here for two nights on our visit to the region. We stayed in the spacious room with a view over the St. Lawrence River and en-suite bathroom. The king sized bed was comfy and there were ample pillows (not always the case when traveling). The whole inn is appointed in a casual but tasteful vibe and the breakfasts overlooking the river were great. Thank you for a great stay, Sylvain!

Exceptional stay in a tastefully decorated inn. The views will take your breath away, and the warm welcome (and amazing breakfast cooking) from the hosts will make your stay simply perfect. Will definitely go back to this place in summer time to enjoy more of Charlevoix.

This was our 6th stay out Auberge des Eaux Vives and every vacation we have spent there has been delightful. Sylvain and Johanne have created a true oasis where you can enjoy awesome breakfasts to start your day, easily drive to the beautiful parks and attractions in the Charlevoix region and relax in a peaceful setting any time of day. If you’re up early, on most days you can catch beautiful sunrises over the St. Lawrence River from their perch on the hillside overlooking the Cap-a-l’Aigle Marina. It’s a short 5-minute drive to La Malbaie, with its many restaurants and pleasant waterfront parks. The Cap-a-l’Aigle Gardens, which has flower gardens and a pathway along a small stream with cascading waterfalls, is only a 10-minute walk from Auberge des Eaux Vives. Over the years Sylvain has recommended many wonderful restaurants and provided guidance on sights to see in the area – his recommendations are always spot on. As for Johanne’s breakfasts, you must experience them to truly appreciate what she does; creative combinations of ingredients, artistically presented, something different every day and always well balanced (the breakfasts are so satisfying, we often skip lunch or have something very light). We usually stay 7 nights at Auberge des Eaux Vives when we visit Charlevoix, and we are amazed at how consistently excellent our experience has been. We couldn’t think of any place we’d rather stay when we are in Charlevoix.
