Charlevoix for Sweethearts
Two hearts, beating out the rhythms of a symphony Mozart and Beethoven would envy… All you want to do is touch each other, and there isn’t time enough in the day to satisfy your hunger for the one you love. The pheromones radiating from your partner make you swoon in ecstasy. In short, you’re in love, and you want to shout it from the rooftops! Let yourself go, revel in it, experience the beauty of that moment when life is more beautiful, the sky a deeper shade of blue! Whether for a romantic weekend or a whole life spent together, hand-in-hand and lost in each other’s eyes, Charlevoix has everything sweethearts could want!
Our best ideas for romantic dates or getaways, or unforgettable gifts…
1. An outdoorsy love nest
You’ll be all ablaze staying in this fire-inspired unit at Momentôm, where you’ll find year-round ready-to-camp units, the design of which are influenced by luxury safari tents. Like two lovebirds, you’ll nest among the trees of Petite-Rivière-Saint-François, with a private jacuzzi for a bird bath.
2. Hot times for two
Kahlo restaurant will carry you away, and give your evening a little spice. Exactly what you need to get your suave Latin charm on. Share a flavourful ceviche, a few tacos, some churros, drink colourful cocktails and get ready to say te quiero mi amor all noche long…
3. My very own Ghost
Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore, bodies in a close embrace, hands sensually entwined, with a potter’s wheel for an excuse… A classic scene that made pottery the sexiest artform! Take an introductory private class together at La Terrière Ateliers studios, follow helpful advice from a professional ceramicist, and you and your beloved can do the same!
4. Be seduced by song
Sung by Geneviève Jodoin’s warm, enchanting, sensitive voice, sweet nothings carry a great deal of weight! Treat yourself to dinner and a show at her Isle-aux-Coudres hideaway, Auberge La Fascine. Whether at the piano or on the guitar, with guests or as a duo, or quietly solo, an evening set to Geneviève’s sound has a way of fanning the flames!
5. Put a ring on it
Whether it’s a matter of exchanging vows, or a simple gesture of sincere commitment, a ring is an essential marker of milestones! Custom-ordered or selected from among the collections in our local jewellery stores (locally, Bénédite Séguin, of Joallerie Amulette), a ring is universally understood to mean “I love you.”
6. Foodie/Lover
Our senses seem sharper, and everything seems to taste better when we’re deeply in love: Might as well enjoy it, and treat yourself to a gourmet experience. Combining the spirit of a road trip, highly Instagrammable places, face-to-face contact with producers, and tastings: The Bon App foodie passport is the ultimate experience lovers, and lovers of gourmet food, can treat one another to!
