What our travellers think of their stay
Lake Saint-Jean is surprisingly large. When you see it for yourself, it's hard to believe it really is just a lake. Exploring the villages around its circumference takes you on an enjoyable adventure on which you get to meet new people, see new places, and explore wonderful natural scenery.

The period from the end of July to the beginning of September is the blueberry season in Quebec. These delicious little wild fruits are used in a wide variety of products in the Lake Saint-Jean area and can be found in everything from chocolate to jams.
