Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu collaborates with local partners, such as beekeeper Hydromel Charlevoix, on specific projects. For example, putting beehives on the site of the Manoir’s former stables not only supports biodiversity, but also raises visitor awareness along an interpretive trail about bees and Charlevoix’s environment.

What’s more, Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu has always been guided by the Green Key program for sustainability in hotels and restaurants. In fact, it was the first establishment in Quebec to be awarded the 5 Green Keys double certification, crowning 125 years of history and commitment to responsible practices.

To mark this anniversary, the establishment developed a range of local products, designed with sustainability in mind. These included two honeys and an artisanal gin made from beehives in collaboration with Hydromel Charlevoix, as well as an exclusive cider made from crabapples from the orchards, in partnership with the Les Travaux et les Jours cidery. Reusable ceramic coffee cups created by Les Ateliers Charlevoix have also been introduced to reduce waste.
