We’ve just returned from a wonderful one-night stay in your beautiful village. We stayed one night in Room 111. We had two wonderful days. Everything was perfect. First of all, the people!! Whether at the front desk, on the grounds, at the restaurant, or during the activities, everyone was welcoming, passionate, and smiling. The room was very comfortable and very pretty—and what can I say about the meals!! Dinner at the Moulin restaurant was delicious, and the atmosphere was absolutely delightful. The music during dinner was wonderful—very relaxing. Lunch, of course, featured the classic Lac-style tourtière, which was so good!!! My mother, my sister, my daughter, my granddaughter, and I would like to thank you for the warm welcome and the wonderful time that the entire Village Val Jalbert team made possible for us. This wasn’t our first visit, and it certainly won’t be our last.

A very nice site. You can get a sense of how people lived back then, with the ruins of the houses and those that have been restored. The staff is really friendly and welcoming.

A wonderful trip back to the last century in a village inhabited by friendly ghosts. Thank you to all the professionals who are bringing this site back to life…

Prixhka with her insightful explanations, Danielle with her cheerful disposition, the Mother Superior with her biting humor, the friendly bus driver, and the young post office manager all shared their passion with us in a setting steeped in history…
