Charlevoix, "Voitures d'Eau" museum
Aménagé en 1973 par le capitaine Eloi Perron, le Musée Les Voitures d’Eau sur l'Ile aux Coudres fait revivre le passé de la vie en mer sur le Saint-Laurent. On y retrouve la goélette Mont-Saint-Louis, que l’on peut visiter de la cale à la timonerie. L’exposition regroupe de nombreuses pièces d’équipement nautique ayant servi sur les navires de l’époque.
Fitted out in 1973 by captain Eloi Perron, the museum "Les Voitures d'Eau" on "Ile aux Coudres" brings you back in time when the St.Lawrence Schooners were the only way of trade in a country where the river is of upmost importance. We can visit the schooner "Mont St-Louis" from the hold to the wheelhouse, where we can see numerous marine equipment pieces that were common on the ships of that time.

At the "Charlevoix Maritime Museum" in St.Joseph de la Rive, we can see the schooner Jean-Yvan, built in 1958 being restored,
as well as the Felicia tug, built in 1923.
Nowadays the docks have been turned into pleasure yachts marinas.
