Our accommodations
Heritage homes (Historic district)
In the heart of SAN’s historic district, our heritage homes immerse you in the living soul of a century-old site. Surrounded by period buildings that each played a role in the former healing grounds, you’ll stay just steps away from the large historic farmhouse and our open-air art gallery, where contemporary murals meet history. Your stay also includes free access to the canoes and Jardin des Soupirs, where you can pick fruit, vegetables and herbs according to the season, for a complete immersion in the spirit of the SAN.
Ready-to-camp (Secteur Batiscan)
On a sandy esker bordered by the Batiscan River and Lake Florenz-Ziegfeld, the Batiscan sector welcomes our ready-to-camp homes in a natural setting of rare beauty. Carefully designed to offer exceptional comfort, a vast common area, a service building fully equipped with electricity and docks giving access to both waterways, this sector invites you to enjoy a unique experience between forest, historic alley and wild shores. Just a stone’s throw from the Jardin des Soupirs and the trails once trodden by residents in search of hope, you’ll also enjoy free access to canoes and pick-your-own fruit, vegetables and herbs, for a stay nourished by nature and history.
