Pointe-au-Pic Riverside Promenade
Promenade de Pointe-au-Pic
The classic riverside walk in La Malbaie, with the broad St. Lawrence River on one side and century-old summer villas and castle hotels on the other.
Pointe-au-Pic is the historic resort quarter of La Malbaie. Wealthy Americans and Canadians have vacationed here since the 19th century. Strolling along Route 362 and the riverside wooden boardwalk, you can gaze across the river at the Laurentian mountains on the far shore. Behind you, on the hillside, stand the Manoir Richelieu hotel and rows of Victorian-style villas, and the Villa Shalom Museum is also nearby. Around the pier are cafés and small restaurants. The sunset over the river is most beautiful in the evening. The walk is open all day and free. It can be combined with the manor hotel, the casino, and the museum for a half-day tour.
