Domaine Saint-Émilien

Domaine Saint-Émilien is a heritage inn located in Desbiens, in the Lac-Saint-Jean region. For over 60 years, this monastery was home to the Redemptorist Fathers. Today, guests come here to enjoy a good night’s sleep, fine food, and the beauty of the region in any season.

Everything you need is on-site: accommodations with breakfast included, gourmet boreal cuisine crafted by our chef, the "Café du Moine" for a daytime break, and therapeutic massages available by appointment.

The inn also hosts country-style weddings, corporate retreats, Christmas parties, and family gatherings—with the option to book the entire estate for private use.

In the summer, cyclists traveling the "Véloroute des Bleuets" (Blueberry Cycling Route) can stop at our dedicated cyclist rest area, which features drinking water and a repair station. In the winter, snowmobilers enjoy direct trail access, as well as free, sheltered, and secure parking.
