for this
How accessible everything is! The welcoming people, the medical services, the top-quality schools, the local shops, the affordable houses, the nearby wilderness!
The best kept
secret
The Motel Agricole des Basques, unique in the province of Quebec: an innovative solution that facilitates the arrival of new farmers in fruit, vegetable, forestry or animal production.
For its salty wind from the shore, for all the unrestricted and potential projects, for its ever-present nature, and above all, for all the lovable people as easy to come across as the spruce trees in our forests.
