    Description

    Hello everyone,

    Our company offers eco-touristic accommodations (cabins, bubble domes) erected within our nearly 60 acre Boreal forest along the Saguenay Fjord.

    We are a French family that settled in Quebec in 2009 and we’d be happy to welcome helpers from all around, introduce you to our team and show you what not to miss in our beautiful region: Saguenay.
    There’s something for everyone to discover around here and we’ll be happy to share that with you.

    Do not hesitate to contact us if you want more information.

    We look forward to hearing from you!

    Claire and Jeremie

    Nous sommes une famille française installée au Québec depuis 12 ans et serions heureux de vous accueillir et de vous présenter l'équipe ainsi que notre belle région : Il y a beaucoup à voir et nous nous ferons un plaisir de vous indiquer les lieux immanquables dans les environs.

    N'hésitez pas à nous contacter si vous souhaitez plus d'informations.

    Au plaisir de vous lire !
