The peak is named after Raoul Blanchard (1877-1965), a geographer who had significant interest in the French Alps and the mountains of Quebec.

The summit is actually not accessible because it is located on the Seigneurie de Beaupré, a relic of the feodal system, which is land that is owned by the Séminaire de Québec,^[1]
