Casino de Charlevoix

The Casino de Charlevoix was established in the 1990s directly adjacent to the Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu, creating an immediate synergy between Pointe-au-Pic's historic prestigious hospitality and contemporary entertainment designed to broaden the region's appeal beyond its traditional role as a summer retreat destination. Sized to match the intimate market scale that characterizes the region compared to major urban complexes in Montreal or Gatineau, the establishment nonetheless offers a comprehensive range of gaming tables and slot machines, attracting a loyal regional clientele as well as visitors staying at nearby hotels. The casino's establishment marked a significant milestone in the subsequent expansion and renovation of the neighboring Manoir Richelieu in the late 1990s, with both properties having since developed an integrated tourist offering combining luxury accommodation, entertainment, and direct access to the Manoir's historic golf course, dating back to 1925. This concentration of attractions in the Pointe-au-Pic area perfectly illustrates the upscale retreat vocation that has historically distinguished this part of Charlevoix since the arrival of the first wealthy visitors transported by steamboat at the turn of the 20th century.
