This resort complex on the outskirts of the Charlevoix region includes a restaurant, steam bath, sauna, massage areas, hot and cold pools, and many relaxation spaces. These functions are shared among three pavilions articulated around a landscaped area bordering a river. Its clean, contemporary architecture helps highlight the natural surroundings.

The interior spaces are simple, giving the natural landscape the starring role. Bright colors are used only for specific elements, such as the restaurant’s large banquette and the steam room.
