Family vacation in Canada

(Translated by Google) Quality services offered.

On the other hand, at the accommodation level, 2 big black spots: - the deplorable reception at the hotel; accommodation in Montreal (after the plane trip, we waited 2 hours for our rooms which were not ready in the passage at the reception. As compensation, the hotel offered us a breakfast the next day - the windowless basement accommodation at the Auberge des Berges (the lady at the reception expressed that the guests were ready to accept the accommodation). based on photos. For our part, we would have refused to be accommodated like this in the cellar if we had been asked the question, we were very angry to these 2 nights with a skylight overlooking the car park)

Thanks to; our guide to rafting the J.Cartier River. The employee in question is the co-manager of this rafting company north of Quebec. He was funny, expert, lively... and gave us a wonderful afternoon (the prices are not given but we get what we pay for!). I would also like to nominate Claude Boivin for the night in tipee for his kindness and his sense of humor, and in general all the Quebecers we met ;s (funny and welcoming). [...]

(Translated by Google) Great flexibility to organize the trip exactly according to our wishes, as well as the documentation file with the road-book and all the attached documents and also the activity suggestions.

Directions on the road-book sometimes imprecise to find accommodation.

Some indications on the possibilities of restoration either in the accommodation itself or in the surroundings would be welcome: we had a very good surprise near the powerhouse Cap au Leste (farm inn) and a rather unpleasant experience in St Mathieu du Parc (Auberge du Red roof: unwelcoming and expensive for what it was). The rooms at the Cap au Leste outfitter are very noisy! This is a step that is less interesting than the others.

Fred, animator at the "teepee" at the Triton outfitter and Croisieres 2001. Fred is a very nice animator and a fascinating storyteller who introduces people to life in the forest, animals, trapping, etc... 2001 Cruises which had the Fair enough, after a 3 hour cruise in the fog, to offer us a voucher for a new trial valid for 1 year: we came back the next day under a bright sun and were able to really see the whales. [...]

(Translated by Google) Direct contact with locals (guides,....), authentic aspect of spaces and places visited.

Some imprecise itineraries, such as an outfitter indicated at 3 km when you have to do 7. Maps to improve. GPS technology saves the day!!!!

In terms of activities, the fact of having taken additional options really made it possible to meet our expectations.

Well-structured travel diary and organization very well.
[...]

(Translated by Google) The speed for the organization of our trip at the last minute was great. The quality generally very good accommodation. The documentation provided is very complete. The welcome of all Quebecers.

There was no GPS available at; the rental agency. Also, the Auberge des 21 for which the roda map announced a free swimming pool which does not exist! Instead a paid mini jacuzzi. Ditto for the hotel The farm or swimming pool / jacuzzi is announced free and is paying.

The site of Val-Jalbert not very interesting even if the staff is extremely welcoming.

Some direction errors in the roadmap and inconsistency between the map provided and the road map.

Lac St Jean and Val-Jalbert could have been avoided to give more time for other more interesting places

Thanks to; Delphine from the Nemiskau outfitter for her kindness, her dynamism, her knowledge of nature, her humor, ... she is perfect! [...]

(Translated by Google) We really enjoyed it very much. the stay at the Lordship of the Triton. There is a particularly friendly mountain lodge atmosphere with lots of activities available. arrangement. We are pampered throughout the stay. To do absolutely. Also a favorite for the stay in a chalet in the Jacques Cartier National Park. These two parts would have deserved Let's spend a few more days there. In terms of car rental, organization and the roadbook, it was perfect, no worries.

It is possible to return the vehicle directly to the agency near the Montreal airport. The rental company takes us back by shuttle to the airport. It was for us. indicated by the lessor to; taking charge of the vehicle and could be noted. on the road book.

In certain establishments we were installed; in a room for 2 people with an extra bed, which is not very comfortable: auberge des berges - Vébron house - Most establishments advertise wifi when it is practically impossible to connect to; their network.

We have a mixed opinion; on the activity "night with the caribou". On the one hand pleasant and convivial for the evening in a prospector's tent, but very short walk in the forest and in a canoe, after the Seigneurie du triton it is a bit light. And also a little overrated and comedy for the midday meal part at "Marguerite" where there is not much authentic, the self-service menu served in a reconstruction setting, not decorated. nice but could do better.

It would be necessary to check some mileage indications which seemed to us to be erroneous. And also review the directions for the trip to Jacques Cartier National Park. After 33 km on the 175N highway, simply take the exit signposted Parc National de la Jacques Cartier - La Vallée. The indication boulevard Talbot is misleading because there is a boulevard Talbot exit but it is much closer to Quebec. At the National Park exit, there is no mention of Boulevard Talbot or Rue des Anémones. The only thing signposted is national park road.

Afterwards, I will have appreciated to eliminate the stages of one night, because they leave little time for the visit and lengthen the stays like those of the seigniory of the triton or the park Jacques Cartier or even Quebec. Also, the somewhat long journey between the zoo and the Vebron house leaves almost no time to visit everything in the zoo that has not been visited. seen with the caribou stay. Or, in the Caribou stay, it would be necessary to reduce the time devoted to it. to visit the facilities and replace it with the visit to the zoo.

Thanks to; the whole team of the lordship of the triton, more particularly the person who took care of us and became attached to our work. prevent and satisfy our every wish. It is truly an unforgettable experience. [...]

(Translated by Google) Accommodation most often corresponded to our expectations: -the 2 outfitters where we went (Nemiskau where the cuisine was exceptional and the environment very exotic, Cap au Leste where the setting was magnificent, but the cuisine was not great) -the "feather" adventure Blanche" at Lac St Jean: very welcoming host (Claude Boivin) who had to heart to make us discover the Amerindian culture: it was a very enriching experience, recommend - the advice given for accommodation (hotel Tadoussac) and the "whale excursion" at; Tadoussac - globally balanced circuit with discoveries of very beautiful regions, a good mix of "cities (Montréal, Quebec) and nature.

RAS at the transport level, very happy with our rental car at Avis

Hotel "du jardin" at Lac St-Jean: no charm (yet classified in the "charm" category) quality; reception: zero. We would have preferred spend 2 nights in a teepee at Claude Boivin's, whereù the setting is magnificent and very well appointed; (there is also the possibility of "hard" accommodation, in small heated houses if necessary).

Well done travel diary, àgrave; review: travel times, especially for access to certain outfitters (I am thinking of the Nemiskau outfitter where the road is not paved, in the ground: we took 4 hours instead of the 8 indicated...).

Very good organization. A huge thank you to; Claude Boivin of Aventure Plume Blanche for the enriching experience, a lot of sincerity; in his way of sharing his culture, concern for hospitality and accommodation. [...]

(Translated by Google) So many things we loved !!! First, authenticity, simplicity; and sincerity, availability; and the sense of service of all the people we met. There has never been a problem...only solutions! We particularly appreciated the night in a rustic cabin as well as the observation of the bear. Jules and his wife are very welcoming and warm. The chalet is...rustic in style. wish and Denis is an exceptional guide in bear watching, authentic, available, passionate; and inexhaustible on the subject, nature and Quebec. We also liked it very much. observe whales in a zodiac. Note that the cruise to 7 a.m., which seemed too early to us at the start, is really at hand. recommend as there are less boats at the viewing site. The Triton outfitter is also an unforgettable experience. Although there are small improvements to the bring to the level of quality accommodation especially in the rooms of the club house, the whole team has a sense of welcome and service...they know how to receive! multiple activities are offered and the people who run them love what they do, they are a mine of information, from advice to stories to tell. to tell about.

At the level of accommodation, at; the hotel du Jardin the quality accommodation is good, but it is charmless, located in a place that also lacks charm or particular appeal, the welcome and service are completely impersonal.

The cruise on the fjord at Anse Saint Jean is expensive in view of the little interest it has.

The travel diary is very useful and well detailed. We would have liked even more tips on what to do not to be missed on the way or around us once there.

Excellent organization. A special mention to; Karine BEAUDIN, who has not spared his efforts to organize an all-in-one circuit for us; made in accordance with our wishes and our tastes, as we made up our minds very shortly before departure. She replied to; all our questions...and God knows there were many...with sincerity, clarity, patience, kindness and availability. The success of this trip is largely due to her and she deserves the "distinction" service, but I don't have room for two people!!!

Thanks to; Denis from bear watching. Passionate and exciting, with the desire to transmit his knowledge, of the bear of course but also of other animals, to share his culture, to exchange. Thank you for allowing us to meet him. This man is a real nugget! [...]

(Translated by Google) We liked the organization of Authentique in reservations and proposals.

Canadream asks for a security deposit of $750, they are very late in giving the motorhomes. Some campsites are poorly positioned in relation to the route and require you to; retrace our steps after doing an activity.

Canadian campsites are very well organized and everything is sized. for motorhomes.

The activities were very good, reservations made at advance. No problem on presentation of vouchers.

The explanations of the travel diary are clear and the details on the activities and schedules of the campsites are important.

We would like to thank Sarah Arsenault from Autenthik cananda. Sarah knew how to understand my request, she made me suggestions on activities. She offered me to take more km for the motorhome and I did well to follow her, for I left only 100 km out of 2100 km to the rental company. [...]

(Translated by Google) Excellent for file follow-up. Bémol on accommodation Hôtel du jardin à; Saint Félicien and SEPAQ chalet at; River Éternity

(Translated by Google) Authentik Canada: Speed of exchange, customization of the estimate according to our expectations, the friendliness of our interlocutor. Superb accommodations!!! Great moments at the Triton, Condo Natakam, Maison de Vébron and Hotel des 1&eregrave;res nations (even if the spa is out of order). Milking (1st Nations restaurant): divinely good (dinner)!!! beautiful (the room)!!! Gargantuan and delicious breakfasts in the morning, caring staff (except at reception). Super cruise: cruise 2001 we will recommend!! Too bad we didn't have any surprises (e.g. upgrade for our wedding anniversary) like another couple we met. on the path that made a circuit with you.

Nothing to do again, very good pace for the circuit! Clean car, no bad surprises!

Les Portes du Soleil: very large room! but average contact and breakfast. Sacacomie: DISASTER!!! Hobby and surroundings: MAGNIFICENT, heavenly, but room: very simple, very rustic/classic (2 stars)!!! questionable lake view: view of the café terrace, leaning well through the only small window you could see the lake !!! Ridiculous bathroom (all plastic, no pressure to rinse your hair), no decoration in the room, no air conditioning, no alarm clock, in short not worthy of a 4 star. Staff (apart from 2 waitresses on the last day and the beach attendant) impersonal, not smiling, detached, moreover, we don't ask you how it went. the stay!! they know the answer!!! There reigns a very bad atmosphere, an atmosphere of concrete screed, which threatens to fall to the ground. each moment ! The manager who places in the restaurant is undrinkable !!! surely a big problem in the hotel!!! We weren't the only unhappy ones (apart from those who had a nice suite like on their website) everyone was disappointed with our experience. hear people talking! See tripadvisor opinion since July (which we have consulted since our visit! There are 1 or 2 which sums up the situation well... BIG DISAPPOINTMENT for the price! SPA paying and very very expensive!!! (I offered it to myself + a treatment) it should be free at least when you do a treatment and less expensive for the others! SPA: magnificent! You can forward my comment if you want to Sacacomie but I think that they don't care!!! one thing is sure, we had to come back in winter, çit won't be at their place!!!

Great activities! the cruise was awesome, the guide super professional, we were very lucky! nothing to do say about the activities!

Nothing to do say: SUPER travel diary, BRAVO! Organization: Nothing to worry about; say: CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN.

Thanks to; Denis of the House of Vébron. He is very kind, helpful, attentive in short!!! memorable! I would also like to add another person: LOVE du Triton (our guide: a love of a person who shares his passion for nature and also adapts to children! Other people were also charming, but it was these 2 the ones that come to mind first!!! [...]

(Translated by Google) Availability, flexibility and excellent advice.

À improve: La Ferme 5 Stars (compared to being housed in Tadoussac) / Auberge des 2 Pignons (very "old-fashioned").

Val Jalbert. The accommodation was impeccable but the activity is a little too amusement park for our taste... We stayed for a short time then we went to discover the very beautiful zoo of St F&élicien .

Apart from the travel diary not received, nothing to change. Contact with Sarah was easy and made it possible to adapt the program according to needs.

Thank you to the staff of Pourvoirie Nemiskau and Aventure Plume Blanche

Nemiskau: particularly warm welcome from the managers and the activity leader. Exceptional site.

Plume Blanche: real sharing on a small piece of the life of the Amerindians. [...]

(Translated by Google) La Seigneurie du Triton: total change of scenery, beauty from nature to breathtaking, memories of the first morning in the world at the Tipis (favorite experience for children), fantastic hotel team Les Condos Natakam: exceptional location on the banks of the Saint Laurent, vision of awe-inspiring whales, unforgettable sunset lights.

Black bear safari, too long and boring Whale safari by catamaran, not worth it (half of us 4 did the zodiac safari, fabulous!)

Thanks to; Frédéric de la Seigneurie du Triton for the authentic experience with this woodsman, great generosity; and professionalism of this teepee manager at the Inusit Village [...]

(Translated by Google) Very well organized. Very good quality hotels and inns (charm, welcome, etc.). Detailed road book with suggestions. Contact with the Wolves at; the 5-star farm near Tadoussac +++

Discount car rental: directions for returning the vehicle near the airport not sufficiently precise.

Offer restaurant suggestions?

(Translated by Google) The trip went very well, it was very enriching and quite complete. This self-drive trip allows you to manage these stages according to the Roadbook, which is quite detailed; . We enjoyed it very much. the canoe camping with the family which was an exceptional moment. We had a great trip, Quebecers are very welcoming and there is always a surprise, nice things and nice discoveries to be made. TO DO. We will definitely come back

The GPS was really a great help to us... Otherwise it would have been really hassle, to find certain addresses.

We have been disappointed by certain points: At the pourvoirie du triton the rooms do not lock; (not great for the security of sensitive stuff) and we had a 3-seater bed and a 1-seater bed! We also regret finding ourselves in a crowd of French tourists (we would have thought we were on the platform of the Parisian metro at certain times (lunch, entertainment, etc.). The site is grandiose but too many tourists have transformed this site into an amusement park.... It is our worst activity of the stay.

Group activities at outfitters are very poorly managed. There are too many people and not enough animators (who also had a lot of trouble working given the number of people.

We had taken the windmill; image and have been disappointed by this animation having a rather artistic film on a Quebec artist... In addition, the view from the boat was partly hidden by a boat and containers. We have a better view from the wharf! If it was to to do it again, we would not have done the cruise on the St. Laurent.

Do not go sea kayaking with undersized children 6 and 8 years old (between water at 4 degrees and rowing against the wind you need arms, I should have listened to my adviser!)

The Roadbook is complete otherwise, it would be necessary to write down each day on the Roadbook. The eternity river chalet is located at; the eternity bay indication and not eternity river. (we made 20 terminals too many).

Very well organised, otherwise.. No problem with the car, the various accommodations and the activities. Before and during the trip we were always answered very quickly.

Many thanks to; Olivier for family canoe camping. We left for 36 hours in a camping canoe with him... Olivier was; very professional, very patient, always pedagogical. We spent an unforgettable moment with him ... The night at my home; also living in been great (Marie Josée bravo). [...]

(Translated by Google) Most popular stages: - Superb NEMISKAU outfitter with an excellent welcome. - Very pleasant Tadoussac. - Quebec: superb city

Accommodation in a chalet at the Fjord du Saguenay very average. Accommodation at; Tadoussac comfortable but noisy because very close to the ferry.

Tourist brochures without interest. The use of the backpacker's guide was helpful to us. very useful.

Efficient organization without unpleasant surprises.
[...]

(Translated by Google) We appreciated compliance with the commitments made at; distance, the comfort of the accommodation and the quality; benefits.

A concern to recover the bag with the GPS and the vouchers at the car rental company (discount in Montreal) otherwise the quality of the vehicle and the gps was there.

Decent accommodation. Side activity we appreciated it less the saint anne canyon, we thought that the activity; of via ferrata was included in our ticket, we did not take it anyway seeing the groups advancing rather slowly.

Very clear notebook and correct organization.

We appreciated availability of Emilie at the wild zoo of st-f&élicien to take care of our group, her calm in the face of the storm that could have ruined the meal, the technical information she provided us on the fauna and flora with a smile and precision. [...]

(Translated by Google) It's hard to give just one answer... but Pourvoirie du Triton comes out on top, followed by Tadoussac.

Excellent car and very good service from C-Discount.

Cape Town Outfitter the East: it's the big disappointment of the trip! No authenticity in this site (the chalets have a reality on a remote lake, and their rusticity is a logical consequence ... not there! It is "a decor for tourists" with a exceptional view, but nothing more! Ditto for the service, very far from what the Pourvoirie du Triton offers, yet lost in the middle of nowhere! In our opinion, to be replaced!!!

Fishing, Quad, Zodiac, Seaplane... excellent! A little alert for the Safari à àgrave; the Bear: there were more than 15 of us in the same watchtower; to in my opinion, groups should be limited to; 6 to 10 people maximum. Between the noises of the children, the beeps of the devices and the flashes, fortunately we had bears very accustomed to the man !

Very good surprise that this travel diary that we used. every day and even kept in memory :)

In terms of organization, no surprises, everything was ready!!

Stéphane (Fishing Manager) at; the Pourvoirie du Triton has been particularly attentive; with our children (and us), very pedagogue and trainer. [...]

(Translated by Google) The highlights of our trip are the triton outfitter, the natakam condos in escoumins, the huttopia tents in the high gorges, bear watching.
The car, ford focus category B, was not powerful enough, we had a lot of trouble getting it to work. climb the dimensions, we regret not having taken a better model.

We had a problem with the chalet at the parc national du fjord saguenay: the planned chalet with 2 bedrooms could not be allocated to us. (mouse) and we had another chalet with only one room (we were told to see with you for compensation) the auberge des berges à agrave; We liked St F&élicien less than the other accommodations: lack of charm and old-fashioned decor in the Quebec delta, we were charged a sum of 40 dollars after our departure for no reason, then recredited, suddenly we had bank charges.

The activities were fine but for the seaplane flight to the lake at the lake. the turtle we couldn't get to; 11:30 a.m. as expected, the travel time from Montreal is too long, especially with the rental car in Montreal. recover at 9:00 a.m., we would have to pick up the car at 8:30 a.m. to meet the deadline.

Very good travel diary but -difficulty to find the place for the observation at l'ours au pic bois (7 km on chemin du pied des monts instead of 3 km noted on the roadbook) -to go to the chalets du versant the chemin du versant does not exist for the GPS, put chemin de la martine.

Organization in general the trip was very well organized; a downside for the seaplane flight where we were; stressed by the too short road time from Montreal.
[...]

(Translated by Google) Thank you for the advice before the trip, the availability; for changes and help with the resolution of small problems and the answers during the trip.

Without a gps, very difficult to follow the indicated route. also for modifications to traffic imposed by the works.

(Translated by Google) We appreciated the Road book as well as the suggestion of the Triton outfitter. The fact that there were no problems with reservations. The experience of the triton outfitter. The trip was extraordinary because this region is very close; wonderful fact. It would nevertheless be useful to specify to the attention of Europeans that the cost of living is much higher than here.

The only remark would be the number of km and the detour by the lake st jean which does not present much interest (on a day of time in any case). The detour via the Saguenay is pretty but not essential in a tour of this type (it is a region that lends itself well to long hikes and longer stays but not for a short visit).

We have been delighted with the outfitter of the triton which has been a great experience. For the rest, and update; apart from the Hotel Sacacomie which I myself had asked for; to integrate into the tour, we have been really disappointed with the accommodations. We are not questioning the quality here. even the room offered (most of the time very good bedding and very comfortable) but rather the character of the places offered. By choosing Authentik Canada we expected to; more authentic accommodation. However, we stayed in accommodations without charm, or very out of the way (like at Anse St Jean or Baie St Paul). There was also never the possibility to relax in a pretty garden or a pretty terrace (also so as not to always move and let our daughter play while having an aperitif). We were either confined to our rooms or had to take the car to go sightseeing (let's admit, however, that the night at the Delta Montreal did not bother us since it’s was the end of the trip and that there we were really well placed). We are sorry to report this but given the asking price; (an average of 180 EUR per night all the same, we were entitled to expect a little more I think): - the Auberge des berges à; St F&élicien: we still do not understand the reason for this choice without charm, with a more than doubtful decoration, along a road and old-fashioned and without any real possibility; to bask near the lake; - L'anse st Jean: it is true that the region is beautiful and that the owner is adorable, but once again why put us in a house located in a ski village under construction (abandoned? summer except by 2-3 people who go to the spas) and totally out of the way? - Tadoussac: you told us a view of the fjord we had a view of the car park in a room that was not in very good condition, the shower of which worked by a toll. suddenly and without air conditioning along the main road at being woken up by trucks... - Charlevoix/baie st Paul: this village and its surroundings are magnificent...so why only make us spend one night there? down? Why also put us in a trucker's motel along a highway? outside the village without the possibility of to relax (the only accessible terrace was a mini table in the parking lot and the spa that Madame Dion told us about is a bubble bath accessible only in winter). The room was spotless, it is true, but what mattered to us was a bit of authenticity, a B&B would have been perfect. more relevant in this village so typical of amazing architecture. - The Delta Montreal: once again we have nothing to do; say about the room itself, but that it’s idea for an agency called Authentik Canada, to make us stay in a hotel of concrete businessmen in the only city fortified and having a historic center of America? We are waiting for a response from you because we were really not happy. The disappointment was all the greater as the trip began with the outfitting of the newt, which boded well for the future.

Thank you for the activity. whales.

It's a real good idea the travel diary. However, we recommend the site via michelin instead of google map for road information.

For the rest of the organization, we had no administrative difficulties, which is pleasant.
[...]

(Translated by Google) The relationship with your correspondent, Valérie: perfect. The organization in general too.

Accommodation: It was very good. The only problem in the guesthouses which are very pleasant with charming owners, may be the soundproofing! but it is understandable in a dwelling house not designed for that. the origin. but that didn't really bother us

Thanks to; AuthentikCanada for their professionalism, the stay took place as expected; perfect organization:) We took full advantage of the grandiose landscapes, the discovery of certain large cities and total immersion in Quebec culture. The + of AuthentikCanada: - well-located accommodation for proximity; tourist attractions, for their strategic locations (transport, etc.) or for their natural settings. - use of vouchers: efficient and practical. We dream of being able to renew such an experience...!

Thanks to; Johanne and Daniel from the temperance gî Charette for a more than warm welcome, concern for the well-being of the guests, very neat cottage; and tasty meals.
