    Welcome to the enchanting island of Miscou! Francois and I live in the heart of a nature reserve, nestled between the beach and the peat bog. On our 5.6 acres, we are exploring various projects aimed at living in harmony with our environment. At the heart of our lifestyle are respect for native flora and fauna, the circular economy, eco-gardening, medicinal plants, and holistic therapies.
