Chartierville is a small village of 300 people in Le Haut-Saint-François Regional County Municipality, in Quebec, Canada.

To reach the border community of Chartierville, take scenic Route 257 South. Prior to its founding in 1870 by colonists from Saint-Hyacinthe, gold-seekers flocked to the area. This patch of land, 139 km square and 505 metres in altitude, is one of the highest regions in Quebec – the ‘El Dorado’ of the Eastern Townships still glitters with the natural, wild riches of the surrounding countryside – and its famed optical phenomenon, the “Magnetic Hill.” In the orange glow of sunset, you may catch a glimpse of the region’s many deer or the occasional majestic moose.
