A Region to Fall In Love With

Charlevoix

~ come early, stay late ~

A UNESCO World Biosphere of rolling green hills, river vistas, art galleries, cheese makers, and quiet inland villages.

Charlevoix is one of Québec's most beloved corners. If you have the time, come early or stay late. You will be glad you did.

Outdoor

Whale Watching at Tadoussac

One of the world's premier whale-watching destinations, just east of Charlevoix. Blue whales, belugas, and minkes gather where the Saguenay meets the St. Lawrence.

Outdoor

Parc National des Hautes-Gorges

Dramatic river gorges, ancient cliffs, and untouched boreal forest. Kayaking, hiking, and some of Québec's most breathtaking scenery.

Outdoor

Le Massif de Charlevoix

Canada's highest vertical drop east of the Rockies — and in summer, a cable car ride down to the St. Lawrence offers views worth the trip alone.

Culture

Baie-Saint-Paul Art Galleries

Charlevoix has always drawn painters. The village of Baie-Saint-Paul is thick with galleries, studios, and the Centre d'art. Allow an afternoon.

Culture

La Malbaie Old Town

The historic centre of our host town, with Victorian architecture, riverside walks, and a quiet, unhurried charm.

Local Cuisine

Charlevoix Cheese Route

Maison d'affinage Maurice Dufour produces the famous Migneron de Charlevoix. The cheese route winds through farms and producers throughout the region.

Entertainment

Casino de Charlevoix

Connected to Le Manoir via an underground passage — a convenient evening option if the dance floor is not enough.

Scenic

Train de Charlevoix

A seasonal tourist train that follows the river from Baie-Saint-Paul to La Malbaie. One of the most scenic rail journeys in eastern Canada.

Relaxation

Fairmont Spa & Pools

Without leaving the property: the Geneviève spa, indoor and outdoor pools, and the cliffside esplanade. A full day of leisure without a car.
