Saint-Irénée

Amidst the Heart of the Biosphere Reserve.

Nestled between two capes, clinging to the mountainside, and stretching along the beach, Saint-Irénée embraces the spectacular landscape of the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River between Les Éboulements and Port-au-Persil.

Trapped between the river and the heights, the village offers an oasis of rest and music. Founded in 1840, it showcases modest colonization architecture, enriched by the more affluent villas of French-Canadian vacationers. The village’s heart reveals breathtaking changes in elevation!

On the mountainside, Saint-Antoine Street spreads its sloping farmland just above the Domaine Forget, which hosts a dazzling international classical music festival throughout the summer and an abundance of shows in a magnificent setting.

At the heart of the Charlevoix Biosphere Reserve, Saint-Irénée offers an impressive combination of natural and cultural phenomena conducive to powerful aesthetic emotions. And the welcome from its citizens is always friendly!
