What an elegantly surreal place! We were fortunate to drive up just as the lavender bushes were being trimmed. The scent was just wonderful. I don't think we will ever forget it. There is a nice little shop where you can purchase lavender-scented items. I wish we lived closer so I could take some of their classes.

This is a great bike shop located in downtown Charlevoix. They rent and repair bikes.
There is an INCREDIBLE BIKE PATH stretching more than 26 MILES along the bay between Charlevoix and Harbor Springs, now serves as one of the region’s most scenic nonmotorized trails—a haven for recreational riders. The wide, paved pathway makes it especially friendly for families with small children. A good portion of it runs along Lake Michigan and has awesome views with picnic tables along the way.
If you are a biker this is a MUST DO!
