Planning a guided side-by-side excursion in Duhamel? Discover where to stay right next to the meeting point, so you can make the most of your trip to the Outaouais.
Traveling a long way for a guided side-by-side excursion departing from Duhamel, in the Outaouais? One question comes up often: should you make the round trip in a single day, or is it better to stay overnight? Here's why combining both makes sense — and where to stay right next to the starting point.
A guided side-by-side excursion means arriving well-rested and on time at the meeting point. For visitors coming from Ottawa-Gatineau, Montreal or farther, staying nearby the night before avoids a long early-morning drive and leaves time to enjoy the evening in the Outaouais. And if your outing wraps up in the late afternoon, staying an extra night lets you unwind before heading home.
Our side-by-side excursions depart directly from Auberge Couleurs de France, in Duhamel — a log-cabin inn on the shore of Petit Lac Preston, in the heart of a maple grove. It's also, quite simply, an excellent place to stay: you can literally park there the night before and be ready the next morning.
The Auberge offers several types of accommodation, from standard rooms to family suites, along with a French cuisine restaurant and a relaxation area (spa, sauna). Everything you need to make the most of your time in the Outaouais, whether you're a couple, a family or a group of friends.
