Stoneham's St-Évasion / 25 min from Quebec - SPA for 9 - Billiards - Waterfront

The St-Évasion Refuge in Stoneham - Here, escape flirts with the sacred. This rustic cottage opens its doors to you under the light of an authentic stained-glass church window, witness to a time when people sought salvation... elsewhere than in a spa. No sermons on the program: just blessed moments with friends, around the fire or in the spa for 9 apostles. Sin in peace, confession is done in slippers, with a drink in hand.
