Maison bleue
La maison bleue centenaire est pleine de charme et possède de beaux grands espaces. Il n'y a toutefois qu'une SDB et une mini toilette au sous-sol, ce qui est peu pour un groupe. Il n'y a pas d'air climatisé et il n'y a pas de ventilateur, ce qui serait un bel ajout en temps de canicule!

Bonjour, je trouve simplement que c'est pas très adapté pour des gens avec un déambulateur. Beaucoup de petite marche pour entrer ou sortir d'un bâtiment. Par contre, ils ont accepté de me changer de chambre pour être au Rez de Chaussée avec ma maman. L'air climatisée était bruyante mais le monsieur de la maintenance a essayé d'enlever le bruit d'oiseau, il était gentil. l'eau de la piscine était beaucoup trop chaude mais on était en canicule. Et le facial que j'ai payé à ma mère, aucune extraction de point noire, première fois que je vois ça pour un facial mais je ne m'étais pas bien renseignée. Par contre le personnel était extrêmement gentil. Je ne retournerais pas avec ma maman. J'y étais pour le travail mais j'étais un peu plus inquiète pour ses déplacements.

The fact that we were in the woods and a river was a special experience. I am sure for the outdoor people who do any activities during the summer, they will enjoy them. The staff was very welcoming and always available. Recommend the spa, very relaxing. The staff are extremely nice and the atmosphere is very quiet. The food is very good. Looking forward to go again.

We tremendously enjoyed the area and the activities available. They offer certain activities for free while others for a fee. The one negative thing we found was dinner. There is only one option of restaurant and they offer limited choices and it is very expensive. For someone who is vegetarian, there is only one option and for that price, you can feed a large family of that dish. Also there are no restaurants close by so you are very limited.

I live in Houston, Texas so Le Baluchon was a great change of pace from the hustle and bustle of the big city. French is the primary language in this region, but the staff and visitors were pretty accommodating despite my lack of French. There's lots to do here even if you are a solo traveler. I loved my room and its unique, lumber style. There's also beautiful scenery right on the property. Also Julie gave an amazing Swedish Massage that resulted iin me driftingto sleep. I just wish kayaking and yoga were still available in late October/early November. Great experience nonetheless!

Our accommodation was traditional wood built house from 1902, but modernised. It was a nice experience to be in a house of the style that we have seen in all the traditional parts of Quebec. It would’ve been nicer to be closer to the campus where the activities place, we needed a car to get there. As such, we didn’t really part of the site.
