We thought the phrase white sandy Quebec beaches was an oxymoron until
we spent a weekend at Auberge
du Lac Taureau in Saint-Michel-des-Saints, Quebec.
sleep
We
were so enchanted by the view of the sandy shore from the balcony of our
cosmopolitan-condo-meets-country-cottage apartment, only the smell of
pine trees reminded us we were still in Quebec. The recently renovated
rooms bring together modern comfort and back-to-nature beauty. Condos
start at $385; single rooms start at $143.
do
Enjoy the beauty of the Lanaudière region by
hiking or mountain biking through the trails that wind their way around
the hotel, swim or boat, or even pick up a game of beach volleyball.
Maybe youll find a nice young man to teach you how to spike (even if you
already know).
relax
The hotel
spa brings the outdoors in, with natural treatments like the Native
body scrub, shower and body milk application ($75).
eat
After a long day of beach fun, the delicious
four course meal ($40) in the Auberges
dining room highlighted local ingredients. We started with the soft
and sweet braised venison with bok choy, and then moved on to a
succulent Wapiti medallion with foie gras sauce.
And, of course, we stopped at one of the many Casse-Croutes lining our
drive home for a tasty poutine. Just to make sure we were really and
truly still in Quebec.
