A few minutes away from the majestic Lac-St-Jean, on wooden grounds located at Lac-Bouchette, the Ermitage Saint-Antoine is a destination appreciated as much by pilgrims than people on an inner quest or travelers seeking natural beauty and tranquility. Founded in 1907 and animated by the Capuchin's religious order, this national shrine offers great quality logging (cottage, hotel, camping), a restaurant and many more activities and services: guided tour, heritage buildings, museum and works of art, walking trail, the famous Kapatakan (trail) of Our Lady (a 215 kilometers Compostela-style pilgrimage) and so much more. The Ermitage Saint-Antoine a must-see to discover... once more.

Detailed Reviews
Wow....I was not sure about this place as we are not religious but we are so happy we stayed here. There is a wonderful history and there is no religious push whatsoever. As a retreat it would be perfect as there are plenty of activities and yet there is a peacefulness here.
Despite not speaking French, we were warmly welcomed and together we muddled through our reservation. Our room was basic but provided everything necessary and it was meticulously cleaned. For TV watchers, please note that there is no television but the room has free wifi and ports built into the bedside lamps as well as the desk provided. There is a refrigerator in the room as well. The bed was very comfortable and we were also able to open the windows. This was an excellent stay despite not seeing the grounds as much as we would have liked due to the weather. The history of this place alone, was worth the visit.

The restaurant was clean and airy, good service and interesting variety of food. We enjoyed the soup, tourtière and the veggie burger. The blueberry pie dessert was relatively small and had too much sugar; we expected a more authentic filling, given its popularity in this area. A bit pricey overall but fairly good quality. Good option for a meal, with few alternatives nearby. Nice lakeside views.
Ermitage rooms were OK but small, a bit warm even with an open window in cool overnight temperatures. Fairly quiet overall, good place to sleep in a very nice surrounding.

L'Ermitage Saint-Antoine is a Catholic Church retreat. It provides accommodation in dormitories and small rooms, as well as camping area. The centre has a dining room, serving breakfast, lunch and evening supper. There is also a gift shop, church, and monastic centre. All facilities are available to all visitors.
The campground is in three areas, one a small sheltered area with space for about 10 units, each site having 3 services; sites are fairly level. The second area is more open and is an extension of the parking area, with sites being part tarmac and part grass, with some sites sloping, each one has water and electricity. The third area is a field setting, with some electricity points and water taps. There is also a sewer dump point. All sites are of a good size for larger units.
Showers and washrooms are fairly basic, with only one shower in each section, mens and womens, with free hot water, when they work. They are located away from the campground areas.
The grounds of the centre are extensive, and there are numerous walks, some signposted through woodland and by the lake. There are many features of religious significance around the grounds.
The reception is for the whole centre and its facilities, and can therefore be busy when there are a lot of visitors. The meals in the dining room are typical hostel cafeteria standard, nothing exciting, but there is a choice. The reception has one computer for free internet access.
All staff were helpful and friendly.

We went there with the whole family last winter for 3 nights in a Chalet. The place is simply magnificent if you want to rest and walk on their great premises.
Even though in winter almost everything is closed, the peace of it, the beautiful snowy trails and having the possibility to have mass everyday was great for us.
Frere Sylvain received us very warmly and recommended us things to do and see there and nearby.
It is a relative close drive away from Zoo Sauvage at Saint Felicien, which is a really great zoo worth to visit.

A beautiful site - of special interest to religious pilgrims and those with a devotion to St. Anthony and St. Francis, but equally to those who commune with the Eternal in nature. Peaceful and quiet, wonderful place for a retreat or a few days in nature, a stone's throw from beautiful Lac St-Jean.

This property is run by Monks and is a religious site but open to all travellers who just want a place to stay and eat on an overnight trip. Rooms are nifty and comfortable at a very reasonable price. The meals are also excellent and non expensive, with a full menu of meals and wines.
