Seigneurie de la Côte-de-Beaupré, Historical manorial estate in Lac-Jacques-Cartier, Canada.

The Seigneurie de la Côte-de-Beaupré forms a parallel strip to the Saint Lawrence River within the Laurentian Mountains, stretching between Stoneham and Gouffre River.

The Compagnie de la Nouvelle-France granted this seigneurie to Antoine Cheffault de la Renardière in 1636, and François de Laval obtained a portion in 1664.

The Séminaire de Québec managed the seigneurie for three centuries, using its lands for food and energy supplies to support educational institutions.

The territory spans 1,592 square kilometers across ten local municipalities and three regional county municipalities: La Jacques-Cartier, La Côte-de-Beaupré, and Charlevoix-Est.

Mount Raoul-Blanchard, rising to 1,181 meters, marks the highest point of the seigneurie between Saint-Tite-des-Caps and Petite-Rivière-Saint-François.
