collection. Even though not
originally accessible by rail, there is
now a private railway from Quebec
City to Pointe-au-Pic. Quebec City
Jean Lesage International Airport is
the closest. Many drive to the town
of La Malbaie, 150 km (94 miles)
east of Quebec City. Aeroport de
Charlevoix is a private airport
located at Saint-Irenee, which is
about 15 minutes from Fairmont Le
Manoir Richelieu. It services private
and charter flights and only
operational in the summer. Guests
may also arrive by ferry or boat in
the summer.
It can be argued which is more
overwhelming to hotel guests and
visitors—its outside, the “Castle on
the Cliff ” overlooking the St.
Lawrence River; or the luxurious
décor inside, which seems
reminiscent in the 21st century of
both France and old Quebec.
This luxurious property caters to your
every wish and it is easy to see why it has
stood the test of time. Manoir highlights
the past while being updated to the present
to meet demands and desires of today’s
guests. From its new Canine Ambassador,
Jordy, to electric car charging stations, this
is a world class resort. The casino that was
once a dance hall is now the renowned
Casino of Charlevoix. Activities abound
such as golf, whale-watching cruises on the
St. Lawrence River, downhill and cross
country skiing, tennis and a wonderful spa
and dining to equal any taste or pleasure.
We were fortunate to be hosted during our
quick stay and enjoyment of this
wonderful property and delightful dinner
and breakfast. We look forward to
returning and experiencing more of
Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu.
This
luxurious
property
caters to
