Charlevoix Canada

Finally get to travel with my best travel mate, my wife. We are bound for Montreal, Quebec City and a new area for me the Charlevoix Area. This region was made a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1988. It lies on the St. Lawrence and is relatively un- traveled by many from the US. Key to the trip is the Coastal Drive and the Route des Saveurs (flavor trail) with special cheeses and local dishes. We will be spending some nights at the Manoir Richelieu that reopened in 1999 after a 92 million dollar face-lift. I suspect that the Casino de Charlevoix will be a frequent stop; it is on the hotel grounds. I at least will be lucky in love.
