Les Éboulements & Seigneurial Mill
Les Éboulements
One of the “most beautiful villages in Quebec”, overlooking Île aux Coudres from a hillside; its seigneurial water mill, built in 1790, still grinds flour.
The village sits on a hillside about 300 meters above the St. Lawrence River, with wooden houses, churches and fields stretching down to the riverbank and facing Île aux Coudres. The seigneurial mill, built in 1790, still grinds buckwheat and wheat flour with water power and demonstrates the seigneurial system of New France, with the seigneurial manor and a blacksmith shop nearby. A downhill path leads to the riverside village of Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive and its ferry terminal. It is about 20 km from Baie-Saint-Paul and is a must-stop on the Charlevoix Food Trail.
Opening hours
Village open all day; mill open approx. June–Oct
