AUBERGE DU LIÈVRE...

A cozy inn on a large unspoiled island right in the middle of the St. Lawrence River! Six pretty rooms (double occupancy) with private bath, traditional and tasty meals, a friendly and cordial reception. Every three rooms have access to a small living room. Silence... relaxation... no meeting... except the one you could have with a flock of grouses at the bend of trail or with tens of hares bustling about in the underwoods at nightfall... In fact, we have only one activity to suggest: the discovery of this large mythical island drifting in the estuary with its escort of belugas, minke whales and seabirds...
