    There's more…

    Autumn is the ideal time of year to appreciate nature, fresh and fragrant with the scent of leaves. Staying at the foot of the mountains offers the perfect view and you’ll be entranced by the magnificent display of colours. Talk a walk through the forest on a fragrant carpet of fallen leaves. Because the forest is less dense in autumn, you get a better view of the landscape. You’ll be right near 3 km of forest trails with panoramic views of Quebec City: you can see Château Frontenac, St. Lawrence River, Building G, etc. Visit the husky puppy farm nearby and see a litter of future sled dogs! Come and have a blast while you rest, relax and recharge your batteries. After all, you deserve it!
