Quebec City & Charlevoix

Jun 13 - 17, 2026 MLT

5 Days

Low - Moderate

Welcome to Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu! Ours is a country escape on the St. Lawrence River, so vast you just might think it’s the ocean. The 120-year-old landmark Manoir feels another world away. Indeed, it is — set in the celebrated playground of barons and magnates on the shores of the river, framed by the Laurentian Mountains. It’s an idyllic place famed for whale-watching, outdoor adventure, farm-to-table touring and roadside ateliers. The rolling landscape makes for scenic road trips in any season, but especially during the fiery displays of autumn. U.S. President William Howard Taft, who summered here, once described the air “as intoxicating as champagne, but without the morning-after headache.” Come with Maple Leaf Tours and enjoy the warm authentic Charlevoix hospitality and sterling service. Stay for the restful ambiance, myriad bucket-list activities and alluring joie de vivre. Drink in the water-to-mountain views and stroll the cliff-top gardens. Try your luck at roulette in the casino or lounge away the afternoon basking by two outdoor pools. There’s no hurry here, no agenda — only inspiring natural beauty, quaint little hamlets to discover and whatever else your heart desires. Bienvenue! (welcome)
