Nestled in the heart of Baie-Saint-Paul (7,400 inhabitants), with its public, cultural and commercial activities La Ferme is a vast farming property that’s a veritable institution among the local population. This new environment possesses all the components of a resort, integrated to the needs of a community. It aims to become a meeting point for the entire Charlevoix region. Experiencing La Ferme is getting back to the good earth. It’s learning with today’s top agricultural and culinary trends. La Ferme goes beyond the traditional inn. State of the art infrastructures make it a new Mecca for gastronomy, training and distribution. A special ambience and a festive feeling prevail. Shows, events and temporary setups are at the heart of the action. A genuine hub for ecotourism and a window on the regional tourist offering, La Ferme is an authentic product.
