When asked, Where is Murray Bay? US President Taft always replied, Murray Bay is a state of mind. For over two hundred years the Charlevoix region has played host to some of the world's most famous and adventurous travellers. Considered the Newport of Canada, Charlevoix has been a meeting place for rural French Canadians and urban English-speaking visitors.

If resort life is what you crave, the long ramble in the Charlevoix region of Quebec offered by Philippe Dubé's book provides the desired change of scene. Using many photographs and illustrations of the elegant resort homes of the area, the people who built and inhabited them, and the tourists who flocked there during the summer, Dubé captures both the untamed beauty and the unique history of this remote resort region.
