Club Geopremier @Lac Morency

I stayed there about 10 years ago. I don't remember unit specifics but since I had my Mom with me I remember that there were stairs to most units. I felt the unit was nice enough. I don't know where you're from but I grew up in Quebec and that area is lovely. You are a short distance to Tremblant a 4 season destination and there are several old Quebec towns that are lovely. Saint Saveur is one and my Dad always spoke about St Agathe des Monts. I don't remember Saint Jerome having any charm. You could go into Montreal for a day if you don't mind driving. We were just driving around and came across a working old covered bridge. I really like Quebec but not speaking French can cause you grief.
 
Merci, Tacoma!
We did book a studio there. I called the resort to get more info and the woman who answered was bilingual. I speak a little French and hope our time at Lac Morency will enhance my vocabulary especially since we will be spending 8 nights in France later this year!
Enroute we will spend a night outside Ottawa and hope to see the changing of the guard the next morning. A day trip to Montreal is a definite as are drives to the villages you mentioned. And we will be there July 1st to join in the Canada Day celebrations!
 
We spent a week in a 1 bedroom in February five years ago for snowshoeing. It was a nice stay, but I recall there were some buildings that looked older than the one up the hill we were in. It's a lovely region. A day trip to Tremblant or Montreal is a bit of a drive and a whole day outing. St Sauveur a half hour away, which you would pass through to get there, has lots of factory shopping and interesting boutiques if you are just looking for a half day outing.
 
Hopefully our unit will be nice. I did learn that our studio has a loft for the sleeping area. And we are prepared with a $20 CDN note that DH found on the ground yesterday at Homosassa Springs State Park in Florida!

Just so your expectations aren’t raised too much. What is spoken in Quebec is very different than the French spoken in Europe.

I like visiting Quebec and it is a charming place. But having learned Parisian French from a teacher from France during my elementary years I find it difficult to understand the Quebec French even to this day.
 
Yes, Quebec French is a little different than Parisian French but not another language. The whole Sauveur region is a tourist area, and everyone working in a restaurant or shop will speak English. The reality is if you try to struggle en francais, they will quickly switch to English to deal with you.

Yes, the people there are lovely and you won’t have any difficulty interacting. I was merely pointing out that if the goal is to practice language skills for a future trip to France you may not achieve the goal as fully.

I have a similar problem when I go to Switzerland. The German I learned is a bit of a different dialect than that spoken by my family there. We usually end up defaulting to English.

St-Jérôme might not have charm but it does have the hospital and a Costco :)
