Domaine Forget
Domaine Forget de Charlevoix
A music and dance academy overlooking the St. Lawrence, where the international summer music festival stages classical and jazz concerts in a riverview concert hall.
The estate sits on a hillside in Saint-Irénée. It was once a summer residence for a senator and is now a music and dance academy. Every summer it hosts an international music festival in the François-Bernier Concert Hall, which has large windows facing the river. Performances include classical music, jazz and dance, and there are Sunday brunch concerts. The grounds include a sculpture garden that you can walk through for free. The beach at the foot of the hill in Saint-Irénée is good for a summer stroll. It is about 35 km from Baie-Saint-Paul.
