Location

Bistros, restaurants, and boutiques at the foot of the mountain, a short stroll from the manor.

Part of Canada's first UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, with hiking trails open year-round and run by McGill University.

The mountain's slopes are home to local vineyards and cider houses, where you can tour the orchards, meet the makers, and linger over a tasting with the mountain as your backdrop.

Cyclists are spoiled here. The 143 km Oka–Mont-Saint-Hilaire path and the 48 km Montérégiade both begin near the manor, with routes tracing the mountain, the river, and the farmland between.

Minutes from the manor, outdoor thermal baths steam beneath the mountain, with saunas, cold plunges, and massage therapy rounding out the escape.

More than a backdrop, the Richelieu runs along the manor's doorstep. Take in the river views from the grounds, or get out on the water for a paddle or a boat ride.

In the village, this museum celebrates the region's remarkable artistic legacy, including Jordi Bonet, the celebrated artist who once called the manor home.
