Les Florent trail hiking at MRC de Charlevoix

Named in memory of Mr. Florent Côté, who was farming parcels of land atop the Montagne des Florent, and, to do so, had to walk on a small path at the base of the mountain. Linking Baie-Saint-Paul to Saint-Urbain, in the backcountry, stretching over 18.2km, it features 7 accesses allowing the hiker the pleasure to create his own itinerary. Different lookouts along the course offer breathtaking views of du Gouffre valley and the town of Baie-Saint-Paul with, in the backdrop, the majestic St. Lawrence River. A small observation tower reveals a view of the mountains to the west. Direction of Saint-Urbain, a former open pit mine site, the village and mountains of Grands-Jardins national park are sure to catch your eyes.
