La Malbaie

Few cities in Quebec have a history as closely tied to resort travel along the St. Lawrence River as La Malbaie. Set on the river’s broad estuary in Charlevoix, the town spreads from the waterfront at Pointe-au-Pic toward the wooded hills of the Malbaie River valley. Holidaymakers began arriving by steamer in the 19th century, and the railway later reinforced its place among Quebec’s established summer resorts. Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu, rebuilt after a 1928 fire and reopened in 1929, remains the most recognizable expression of that tradition above the shore. La Malbaie also sits within the Charlevoix Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO-designated area. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Charlevoix connects regionally.
