The scene:Established as a national park by the Canadian government in 2000 (although it was on UNESCO’s radar years before as one of the core Biosphere Reserve of Charlevoix zones), this hinterland jewel takes its name from the network of deeply-carved gorges set against a mountainous backdrop. Covering 224 kilometres squared, it offers seven dedi...
