Gerald and Angelique are the most generous and gregarious hosts. The property is stunning. The dinner and breastfast were delightful. I slept so well in a lovely room. I had coffee on the porch with the sounds of birds and threads of french laughter coming from the kitchen. The smell of phlox wafted through the air. It was heaven on earth.

Beautiful location and charming house. The family suite has a lot of space, with two rooms, two bathrooms and a small living room. We especially appreciated the relaxing atmosphere and the kindness of the owners. We would definitely come back to the auberge Pour un instant

Crepes for dinner in bistro were excellent. Gerard was a great host and most helpful.

Such a warm welcome from Angelique. Delightful atmosphere - very relaxing with outdoor spa and seating in the garden.

Charming place with lots of identity. Very authentic. The crêpes for breakfast were absolutely delicious.

Squeaky doors and woods are due to old structure, but it can also be a charming point of this place.

Responsive owner and their impeccable service, clean room, delicious breakfast, nice location on the uphill near Malbaie, beautiful garden with outdoor sitting places, and access to jacuzzi.

Our only minor complaint was that you could hear our neighbours next door. They got a bit loud in the later evening when we were settling in for the night. The hosts do their best to keep things quiet since the auberge is not sound proof, which is to be expected for such a vintage structure, but we would not expect guests to be so noisy. Thankfully, it was short-lived.

This classic French Canadian style bed and breakfast is a charming little gem tucked away in the beautiful countryside of Charlevoix and is about a 10 minute drive from La Malbaie. The hosts were delightful, very accessible and most accommodating. The auberge is cozy, clean and comfortable with a very homey and welcoming atmosphere. Our room was small but very clean and cutely decorated with a woodland feel. The bed was very comfortable. In the small reception area there is a little boutique offering local products including soap and candles. On arrival you are asked to choose among the soaps to use during your stay and can also be purchased for use at home. There is also a small gym and a hot tub for guest's use. But the "piece de resistance" was the unexpected bonus that their kitchen is a creperie and not only includes breakfast crepes for its guests but also offers an evening menu! Also, if you are lucky enough to be there on the weekend (sadly, we were not) there is live music on selected Saturdays. One of the hosts happens to also be the very skilled crepe chef and a member of the band! The curious name of the auberge becomes easily understood once you realize the hosts' love of music, especially of a particular local Quebecois group. Feeling tired after a day of travel to arrive at the auberge, we decided not to venture out as we had originally planned. Instead, we stayed to enjoy what ended up being a simply fabulous dinner on our first evening. The duck confit crepe with emmenthal, apples and walnuts and an assortment of thoughtfully arranged fresh and colourful local garnishes and sides was delectable and our wine selection was also excellent. The breakfast crepes were also absolutely delicious! The savoury or sweet choices were made to perfection as well as generously embellished with a variety of fresh fruits and of course a side of maple syrup!

Everything was terrific from the choice of soap to the ambience to the crepes at the Bistro (morning and evening). Highly recommended!

It would be nice for there to be robes for the hot tub or at least extra towels ! We were given extra towels when we asked -

Lovely and charming country setting with gardens - our room was large, comfortable with a sitting area out front. Loved the hot tub and the crepes for breakfast - town is 10 min - exercise room , yoga mats, hot water maker, refrigerator and French coffee press -

Nothing. Every bit of it was nice.

The hosts were some of the most amazing people we met on our trip. They were very attentionnate, kind and respectfull and they had prepared a few surprises for us (hand crafter soap, caramel popcorn, natural maple water shampoo...) that all was included in the price of the room. The room was super clean, the included breakfeast was delicious and we even had access to a small gym and a spa. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to have a great sleeping experience on their trip.

There was nothing that I didn't appreciate about our stay. It was just how we prefer.

The breakfast was wonderful with a lot of different choices. A lovely touch to let each guest choose their soap and they were incredibly accommodating for our specific check in needs.

Very cozy and well located hostel, when I chose to stay at this place, I thought the "musicale" was just a meaningless word. Once we got there, my son started to notice all the music themed decorations. As a music student, he was super happy. The hostel is well taken care of by the owners, who pay attention to every detail, both in the place itself and with the guests. We felt welcome from the moment we left home until the last minute of our stay. The room was very tidy, clean and comfortable enough to have a good night of sleep. We enjoyed some relaxing moments at the jacuzzi, we played ping pong and they had some card/board games in the living room, like Uno, Jenga, spot it, etc, a nice way to spend some time with my son. The breakfast was just delightful. I am vegan and Angelique made a sarrasin crepe for me, with their homemade apple compote with walnuts. Thank you so much for that :) My son ate the sea salt caramel crepe and he said it was one of the best crepes he has ever eaten. As proof, he ate almost everything and usually he eats like a baby bird . Finally, Angelique invited my son to play some violin during her concert ❤️ amazing! Thank you Angelique and Gerard for the wonderful weekend we had at your hostel :)

Owners Angélique and Gérald gave us a warm welcome. The ambiance and well thought out details made us feel very comfortable. We were even invited to sing on the in-house stage with a good sound system. The outdoor spa was wonderful. Made our own BBQ one night. Very relaxing!
