St-Irenee, QC at a Glance
The senses come alive in Charlevoix with sound resonating strong in Saint-Irenee.
Located on Highway 362, this cliff-top hamlet is famous for the Domaine
Forget, a music centre showcasing talented musicians and its international
music festival
featuring classical and jazz performances. Access to the Domaine is via the country
road, Saint-Antoine which also provides a panoramic view of the area. The Francoys-Bernier
Concert Hall is located at the centre and is renowned for its acoustics and size,
housing over 600 guests. Other attractions include Saint-Irenee's setting itself,
where the St.
Lawrence River and mountains line the roadways and visitors can stroll along
the sandy beach.
The diverse Charlevoix region showcases a varied landscape and natural phenomena
including meteoric craters, glacial valleys, semi-arctic ecosystems and breathtaking
capes overlooking the river and islands. Activities in the area include caplin
fishing from mid-May to mid-June as well as smelt fishing on the pier. Visit the
art galleries and workshops of local artists such as Ateliers
DeBlois, specializing in pottery, or tour the Church
of Saint-Irenee, which was also the backdrop for the Quebec
television series “Le Temps d'une paix.” Saint-Irenee was named one of the most
beautiful villages by the Association des Plus Beaux Villages du Quebec and a
visit here will leave a lasting impression.
