For those who come in the spring, you can attend all stages of the preparation of maple syrup in a traditional sugar shack. We are located in a village almost 350 years old, among the oldest in Canada. You will have access to all the necessary amenities for your comfort. Our village is located in a region renowned for its tourist attractions and local products (cheeses, wines, charcuterie, chocolates, vegetables, seafood and much more). Discover French Canadian culture where it started! Incredible landscapes await you. You will stay in a typical French Canadian house built in 1895.
