Dive Deeper Into Your Adventure… From Home
As a prelude or conclusion, here are a few ways to prolong your journey in the days of schooners. Fair winds!
Let yourself
be swept away
by the story
of the Desgagnés
The Desgagnés are synonymous with Charlevoix, schooners, and the St. Lawrence River. Learn the compelling story of this family of bold and visionary mariners who, over more than two centuries, sailed from the Great Lakes to the Far North, inspired by their muses who stayed behind. Travel with them!
