It's located in the Plan Bois mountain range, a place of nature and tranquillity, the backdrop to a rare experience.A native of the region and owner of the family chalet, Isabelle welcomes you to a more intimate, traditional dining experience, with the option of a private dining room. You'll be able to enjoy a limited-edition lunch where quality comes first, with a personalized welcome "just like home", in the "little chalet" or "by the fireplace", which can accommodate 4 to 8 guests in a private area.
