La Malbaie, Historic town on the north shore of Saint Lawrence River, Canada

La Malbaie covers 471 square kilometers between the Charlevoix-Est region mountains and the Saint Lawrence River, hosting over 8,000 residents.

French explorer Samuel de Champlain named the area Malle Baye in 1605 when he found no suitable anchorage for ships.

The town maintains strong culinary traditions with local products, artisanal cheeses, and pastries that represent authentic Quebec cuisine.

The Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu, first built in 1899 and reconstructed in 1929 after a fire, served as the venue for the 2018 G7 Summit.
