48 Hours… in Percé

Percé is a fascinating town. “It’s a place that was once inhabited by the gods,” as Jean-Louis Lebreux, director of the Musée Le Chafaud, likes to say.

My trip in Bas-Saint-Laurent: A Christmas visit at Auberge du Mange Grenouille

I arrive at Auberge du Mange Grenouille, located in the village of Bic, all excited to finally visit that lovely place I’ve heard so much about. Standing in front of the building, I’m impressed by the stately red frontage, but that’s nothing compared to what’s waiting for me inside. Read more

My journey in Côte-Nord – Manicouagan: La Galouïne Inn and Restaurant, warmth and charm

It was my first visit in Tadoussac and the town instantly charmed me. Stores are colorful with welcoming fronts. Streets are busy with people all smiles, chatting and enjoying the nice weather. Tadoussac is one of those places perfect to explore leisurely on foot.

La Galouïne Inn and Restaurant quickly draws my attention, a large blue building with multiple patios. I’m warmly greeted by the people at the inn. Best of all, our room is ready, so we can drop our luggage and set off to explore the area. Read more
