Village de Saint-Irénée

Nestled between two capes, clinging to the mountainside and stretching along the beach, Saint-Irénée follows the contours of Charlevoix’s spectacular coastal landscape. Set between the St. Lawrence River and the surrounding heights, the village offers a peaceful oasis filled with music. Founded in 1840, the village features modest architecture typical of early settlement, later enhanced by the more elegant villas built by French-Canadian vacationers. On the mountainside, Rang Saint-Antoine is lined with sloping farmland overlooking Domaine Forget, which hosts a dazzling international classical music festival throughout the summer. Located in the heart of the World Biosphere Reserve, Saint-Irénée offers an impressive combination of natural and cultural attractions, creating a setting of remarkable beauty.
