The Parc National des Grands-Jardins, at the core of the Biosphere Reserve, is a true Charlevoix jewel. Mostly known for its trail giong up to the top of the Lac-Des-Cygnes Mountain, The particular flora and fauna found at this altitude make it a unique site as you will walk through taiga at less than a 90-minute drive from Québec City. That is one of the special features of Les Grands-Jardins. Visitors are amazed by this area reminding them of Northern Québec.
