Treat yourself to a land-bound “cruise” aboard a ship that can never capsize: the Cap-aux-Pierres Hotel, which is located on a charming island in the middle of the St. Lawrence River. Île-aux-Coudres is like a boat snug in its home port, a safe haven from which you can hear the call of the sea. So climb aboard, mateys, and explore the island's abundant natural treasures that include green fields, generally flat terrain much appreciated by cyclists, heritage windmills, schooners from yesteryear and lookout points with an exceptional view of the Laurentian Mountains to the north and the Appalachians far to the south. Île-aux-Coudres developed its maritime heritage from necessity, but the hospitality of its residents comes from within!At the Cap-aux-Pierres, the cornerstone of the Groupe Dufour family of hotels, we welcome you with open arms and make you feel at home. This is where our renowned family-style hospitality took root and blossomed. You are sure to appreciate how eager people here are to share the best of what Charlevoix has to offer: good humour, a genuinely friendly welcome and attentive service.
