Train de Charlevoix

Charlevoix Train offers a truly original way to discover the region, traveling along a historic rail line that follows the Saint Lawrence River shoreline from Quebec City station, near Montmorency Falls, to La Malbaie, passing through the charming stations of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, Petite-Rivière-Saint-François, Baie-Saint-Paul, Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive, and Saint-Irénée. This 125-kilometre journey, available in various configurations from one-way trips to excursions combining multiple stops in a single day, offers passengers views of the river and Charlevoix villages that Highway 138, despite its own scenic appeal, cannot always provide with such uninterrupted beauty. The onboard experience, which typically includes dining service and modern comfort amenities, transforms what might be simple transportation into a full-fledged tourist activity in itself—particularly appreciated by visitors who prefer not to navigate the region's sometimes winding roads. Several package deals combine Charlevoix Train with stays at iconic regional hotels—the Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu, Hôtel & Spa Le Germain Charlevoix, or Hôtel Baie-Saint-Paul—allowing visitors to pair scenic travel with quality accommodation as part of one integrated tourism offering.
