A propriedade — Pourvoirie Relais-Gabriel
Pourvoirie Relais-Gabriel is a rustic 3-star lodge on the shores of Lac des Îles, about 80 kilometres north of Quebec City. The lobby feels like a hunting camp that grew up: stone fireplace, mounted moose heads, a reception desk with a well-thumbed register of anglers and families. It’s geared toward guests who want quiet outdoor access — fishing, hiking, swimming, or just sitting on the deck watching loons — rather than resort glitz. If you’re here for a single night in July, you’ll likely be one of the few couples or solo travellers using it as a base for a Charlevoix road trip; the dining room closes early and the wi-fi is patchy, so bring a book.
Crónicas de Quebec
Quebec City was founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain as a fur-trading post, making it one of the oldest European settlements in North America. Its Upper Town grew on the Cap-Diamant promontory, with narrow streets and stone buildings fortified by the British after 1759; the Lower Town spread along the St. Lawrence as a port and industrial district. The ramparts, the Château Frontenac, and Place Royale are Unesco World Heritage sites, but the city’s contemporary identity is less about museum-piece preservation and more about a living French-speaking hub for culture, food, and winter sports. These days, Quebec balances its colonial architecture with a youthful arts scene, craft breweries, and a strong local-food movement.

June to August: warmest weather, with July highs averaging 25°C, plus long daylight hours for hiking and fishing. September is also good – cooler but still pleasant, with fewer bugs and autumn colours beginning.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is the peak month, particularly around Quebec City’s Festival d’Été de Québec (early July) and the Grand Prix Cyclistes in early September. Hotel prices in the city can double, but Pourvoirie Relais-Gabriel stays more affordable as it’s outside the main tourist zone.
Orçamento da temporada
Late May and early October: the lodge is quieter, rates drop by 20-30%, and the weather is still decent for outdoor activities, though you’ll need layers for cool evenings.
Tempo e embalagem
July in the Laurentian forest means humidity and sudden afternoon thunderstorms, but also cold lake water. Pack a lightweight rain jacket and a pair of long trousers for evening mosquito protection.
Livro City Briefing — Quebec
- The 100-kilometre stretch of Route 381 from Lac Saint-Joseph to the lodge is under resurfacing work in 2026; expect single-lane sections and 15-minute delays, especially on Fridays.
- Quebec City has introduced a new battery-electric shuttle running July-October between the Old Port and the resort district of Sainte-Foy, which may help if you plan a day trip from the lodge.
- The entire Charlevoix region is under a ban on open fires and campfires due to dry conditions persisting from a mild spring; check with the lodge for propane fire-pit availability.
