I love the atmosphere of this place and the calm that prevails at this time of year. A wonderful rustic experience that deserves to be visited more often. Thank you.

The studios are basic but offer a very affordable option to stay in an interesting part of the Islands. An amazing sea kayaking trip through the caves, offered by the center.

-Luc

Wide range of water activities on site. Affordable prices.

-Guillaume

We booked the sea kayaking excursion. The three guides were incredible, making sure everyone was safe and having fun. Several times, we stopped so they could explain marine and geological curiosities of the Islands. We were lucky enough to spot a seal swimming just a few meters away from us.

-Xavier (Canada)

I loved the two days I spent here; the staff was very welcoming and attentive to the visitors' well-being. The campsites and shelters are beautiful, comfortable, and surrounded by nature. Magnificent site, pleasant and clean shared spaces, affordable prices for all the facilities per night.

If you want to try Wing Foil, I highly recommend this school! The instructor Nicolas was excellent and the place is ideal for learning.

-Loïc (Canada)

The site is beautiful, excellent value for money, and very clean. I would go back!

-Isabelle (Canada)

Very beautiful place to go kayaking if you’re not experienced. A basin where there’s no strong wind or waves. Welcoming staff who gave us great advice.

-Chantal (Canada)

The grounds were beautiful. The location was perfect. The accommodations met what we were looking for. I thought the bathroom was inside the room, but I had no issue going to the next building. I had a great time on the island and would use this lodging again.

-Treva (Canada)

Very nice activity, professional, generous and courteous staff.

A memorable memory of the Islands! A beautiful sea kayaking excursion that I recommend to everyone.

-Julie (Canada)

It’s a very comfortable, ready-to-camp setup with a VERY well-equipped kitchen and clean restrooms. It offers a serene setting.

-Kevin (Canada)

Really a beautiful spot right on the waterfront in a bay, with great value for money! Somewhere between a cabin and camping, and with some privacy between each campsite, thanks to the wooded area! Showers and bathrooms are always clean! The shared kitchen is well-equipped! Well located in Havre-Aubert, close to La Grave.

-Patricia (Canada)

The site is exceptional. The staff is very welcoming and attentive.

-Dominique (France)

It was peaceful, and being by the sea is always relaxing!!!
