Follow signs via Lafontaine street (city centre) to head south (top of the coast). This time you are on a cliff embracing the three parishes, the river and its islands. The entire Charlevoix region is discovered on the north shore in fine weather.

La Pointe: this is the name given to the peninsula at the bottom of the city, jutting out from east to west into the St. Lawrence. As you drive towards the wharf on Mackay Street, you'll see the famous "Tête d'Indien" (Indian Head) painted on the rock at the first bend in the road.
