Forest inns: the flagships of Lanaudière-Mauricie
They forge the region’s reputation. Emblematic of the Quebec lifestyle and unique hospitality, these forest inns are in the heart of nature, offering the unique comfort of quality accommodations and a wide range of outdoor activities in all four seasons.
Unique lodgings
The Lanaudière and Mauricie regions offer a wide range of experience accommodations, where nature and vacationing become one.
Cabins in the woods, yurts, domes, pods, minicottages or refuges are often advantageously positioned on the edge of a lake or forest.
Regional and national parks
A four-season outdoor paradise with two national parks (La Mauricie National Park and Mont-Tremblant National Park), and over fifteen regional parks. It includes the largest lake within three hours of Montreal, for motorized and non-motorized activities such as hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, fishing, canoeing, kayaking and more.
Trois-Rivières
The 2nd-largest French-speaking city in North America (1634), Trois-Rivières will charm you with its history, culture, museums, nature and a downtown area brimming with restaurants and festivals.
Festival Western de St-Tite
The Festival Western de St-Tite – what a wonderful adventure! Who could have imagined that this little municipality in the Mauricie region would experience an exponential growth in population size every September? A total transformation: the whole town becomes western! With its breathtaking professional rodeos, music shows, country dancing classes, and the prevailing festive atmosphere, the event, which began in 1968, has become a standard-setter when it comes to rodeos and major events. In fact, it has become the largest country-western-themed attraction in Eastern Canada. Hats off!
King's Road (Chemin du Roy)
The Chemin du Roy was built between 1731 and 1737 as the St. Lawrence River’s brother-in-land. This 280-kilometre tourist route
showcases the rich heritage and history of New France. Historic houses, old mills, churches and sanctuaries line the route.
Forest edibles
The region offers a wide range of activities related to mushrooms and forest edibles. Taste dishes featuring delicious wild mushrooms, take part in a cooking workshop, or learn how to identify and harvest them in the forest with a certified guide.
