Clermont (French pronunciation: [klɛʁmɔ̃] ⓘ) is a ville in the Canadian province of Quebec, and the seat of government for the Charlevoix-Est Regional County Municipality.

The industrial development changed the place from a rural and agricultural society to a rapidly growing urban community.

[4] Félix-Antoine Savard, famous Québécois author and at that time priest of the Parish of Saint-Étienne in La Malbaie, was also responsible for Chute Nairne.

Savard, at the request of residents of Chute Nairne, petitioned the bishop of Chicoutimi, Charles Lamarche, to obtain permission for a new parish and church.

The August 8, 2010, a monument of the artist Léonce Émond was inaugurated at the Des Berges City Park of Clermont, near the Malbaie River, to evoke the memory of Alexis Lapointe (known as "The Trotter") (1860-1924 ).

A bike path generally in wooded area runs along the west bank of the Malbaie River passing in particular in the municipal park Des Berges, bypassing some small bodies of water and the water treatment center, to the bridge spanning the river.
