Like the vacationers of by gone days who, back in the XIXth century, traveled to the region seeking fresh sea air and spectacular scenery, you'll be totally smitten with the Charlevoix. Love at first sight occurs as soon as you enter this UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve surrounded by tall mountains and flanked by the St. Lawrence Rive­r, just under an hour east of Québec City. Truly blessed by Mother Nature in all seasons, the region of Charlevoix proposes as many ecotourism activities to the contemplative traveller as it does to lovers of the great outdoors. Helicopter tours, all-terrain Segway rides, biking, trekking, kayaking as well as bateaux-mouche cruises are but a few of the many ways to explore Charlevoix’s most prolific legacy: its natural kingdom.

From the four corners of its territory, the Charlevoix never fails to seduce visitors. It's impossible to resist the charm and quality of its romantic inns, the call of the wild from its 3 exceptional national parks, or the Flavour Route's gourmet products and reputed fine dining. Then there's the coastline within easy reach, and the gracious ballet of the whales, the countless art galleries, museums and artists' studios – not to mention the dazzling excitement of the Casino! In winter, the river lies at your ski tips at Le Massif, the highest vertical drop East of the Canadian Rockies.

One of the major assets of Charlevoix' s tradition of tourist hospitality is undoubtedly its network of highly developed lodging facilities. The Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu, a century-old 5-stars resort located next door to the Casino de Charlevoix, is one of the most famous landmarks in this network.
