The changing of the leaves each fall is due not so much to the cooler temperatures as to the decreased light resulting from shorter days. In the maple tree, the accumulation of sugar in the sap is what accounts for the brilliant red of the leaves, whose hue varies depending on the soil composition. The fall colours are at their best in Mont Saint-Anne and in nearby Parc National de la Jacques Cartier, both within easy drive distance from Québec City. Keep your cameras at the ready as this will be a day of stunning images.

Today, as we depart Québec City at a train station close to the famous Montmorency Falls that we visit before boarding the Train de Charlevoix and following the mighty St. Lawrence River to the picturesque Charlevoix region and the quaint town of Baie-Saint-Paul.

We explore the quintessentially Québécois town of Baie-Saint-Paul today. Baie-Saint-Paul is nestled in the heart of a scenic valley and cultural life is ever-present, from museums and art galleries to gourmet restaurants and corner bistros. The streets are lined with century-old homes and are reserved for pedestrians, musicians, painters and street artists. The famous show of Cirque du Soleil took its first steps here in the early '80s. We will take a stroll down Rue Saint-Jean-Baptiste, home to one of the highest concentrations of art galleries in Canada. After spending the day in this quaint town, we board the 4.30 pm train back to Québec City.
