Step into the quiet charm of **The Old School**, a lovingly preserved 1860 farmhouse where time slows down and nature takes the lead. Surrounded by countryside and overlooking a peaceful natural park and river, this unique retreat invites you to disconnect from the noise of everyday life and rediscover simple pleasures. From the moment you arrive, the character of the home reveals itself through its exposed wooden beams, cathedral-style ceilings, and warm rustic atmosphere.

As evening falls, gather in the cozy living area where the wood fireplace fills the home with warmth and a gentle glow. Outside, the large garden becomes a place for laughter, stories around the fire, and quiet nights under the stars. For the ultimate moment of relaxation, slip into the year-round spa and let the peaceful surroundings melt the day away. Cycling enthusiasts will also appreciate the region’s scenic routes and the warm welcome offered to travelers exploring the area on two wheels. Whether you’re seeking a tranquil escape, a place to reconnect with loved ones, or a charming countryside experience steeped in history, **The Old School** offers a stay that feels both timeless and unforgettable. Here, nature, comfort, and heritage come together to create memories that linger long after the journey home.

Part of generation X and educated at the Université de Montréal, I now work as an actuary — which probably explains why I spend a little too much time counting things. People often say I’m a bit distracted, but always in a good way: usually because my mind is already planning the next cycling adventure. I live in Québec City with my loyal dog Nelson, and I’m passionate about bike travel, exploring landscapes slowly and appreciating the journey as much as the destination. When I’m not riding or working with numbers, you might catch me practicing my most useless skill: juggling. Music from the band Indochine still reminds me of my high-school days, and like many cyclists, I believe the best stories come from the road. As a host, what matters most to me is communication and guest satisfaction. My goal is simple: to offer a place where travelers feel welcome, comfortable, and able to fully enjoy their stay. Your satisfaction is my greatest reward.
