Just climbing the path to the Auberge des Falaises, in the heart of a wooded area, creates a special atmosphere that continues throughout the stay.
Whether it's to stay in one of the 42 rooms with a view, 33 of which have a whirlpool bath, a lounge, a fireplace, and a balcony, to hold a business meeting or banquet there, or simply to enjoy the panoramic dining room Le Perché Gourmand, whose table is a genuine gastronomic experience, the hosts of the Cloutier family have dedicated themselves for nearly 40 years to ensuring every visitor has an unforgettable stay.
The main pavilion also offers three condo-style apartments, each with two separate bedrooms that can accommodate two couples or small families. They offer all the comfort of 4-star classified units and are fully equipped with a kitchenette, dishes, bedding, washer, dryer, and everything you need to prepare meals on site.
The inn also offers a Nordic spa with a pool, including massage therapy and other health treatments. These services are also available to people who are not staying at the inn.
Discerning food lovers will savour one of the evening tables d'hôte, which will leave no one still hungry. From amuse-bouche to dessert, with refined starters and surprising mains in between, nothing is left to chance in Chef Alain Morel's kitchen. And that view of the Saint-Laurent estuary, which one never tires of!
The founding couple, with their son David handling general management, has just invested over a million dollars in various modernization work begun in 2019. Almost every corner of the inn has benefited. A tour of the property with David made this clear.
Built in 1895, the former second home, with its seaside look, was first occupied by a wealthy American family. In 1983, Denys Cloutier and his wife Reine L’Heureux acquired the well-appointed residence on boulevard des Falaises in Pointe-au-Pic. This residence with its Mediterranean decor was transformed into a charming country inn. At the time, it had only 12 pretty rooms.
