Île Charron, River island in Longueuil, Canada.

Located in the Saint Lawrence River, Île Charron forms part of the Îles de Boucherville archipelago, connected by the Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine Bridge-Tunnel.

In 1672, French King Louis XIV granted the island to René Gaultier, governor of Trois-Rivières, who became the seigneur of Varennes.

The island maintains three main structures: the Hôtel Gouverneur, the St-Laurent water treatment facility, and a summer performance theater.

Visitors can access the island through the Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine Bridge-Tunnel, which carries Quebec Autoroute 25 and the Trans-Canada Highway.

The land currently belongs to Luc Poirier, with ongoing discussions between Quebec's government and Desjardins Group regarding future development plans.
