Tadoussac…I’ll be back

One recommanded me this youth hostel in Tadoussac, but I wasn’t expecting living such a strong experience. I’m writting these lines from a restaurant located just above the famous Saint Laurent. The bus is currently stopped for a 40mn break (I’m coming back to Québec where i have to meet three Canadian people who drive to Montréal, where i will spend two more days before leaving to Toronto and the USA). It’s snowing again and we currently get 20 more centimeters from the past night. And it’s really an experience to travel by bus when the road is “white” here ! You have to trust the driver !
Many thanks to Serge, Guillaume (what a nice poker game !), Linda (I hope Santa Claus will bring you what you want !), Captain Ivan for being such a nice person , Ing (for his wine and his hapiness even at 6 o’ clock in the morning), André for his amazing welcome, Isabelle for her help, Anne-Marie for being such a cool barmaid (enjoy the music !), Coco for the very cool trip in the forest, Yohann for the travel to ‘ferme 5 étoiles” with his magic van (one day, I’ll go fishing with you) , DG, Michel, Janis and Marie Claire for the amazing time we spent with you and your dogs (I will never forget it), Tommy and of course Céline. And also the ones I forgot..
Ing, Céline, Myself, Ivan and André
Thanks to all of you who helped me to enjoy Tadoussac as a wonderful experience. The Tadoussac Youth Hostel is part of these places that you don’t want to leave once you lived there (I was really disapointed to leave and I would have really spend few months there). It’s also a wonderful opportunity to take a break in your life and to enjoy the life through their community. I will be back, that’s for sure. I will never forget these 4 days that I spent with you, the smell of trees in the forest, the cold wait to see whales, the taste of your maple pancakes during the breakfast, these long trips on the beach, these crazy poker games, these amazing talks with you, all these things that help to build a MAN.I left Tadoussac with the feeling to have spiritualy grown.
Tadoussac is this kind of place that will help you to forget your daily life. When we left with Céline, André (The Boss) told us “If ever you have hard times in your life, come back to us, you will be always welcome here”. André, when you will read this post, be sure that we are thanking you for everything, for your words full of sagesse, your smile, your warm welcome. Tadoussac, it was like a second house for me, I was feeling good at your place. God bless this place, god bless you all.
If ever you want to visit this beutiful place and to meet its inhabitants, you can’t miss this “Auberge de Jeunesse” located at the village’s entrance (and if ever you have a beer at their bar, you will see that I left a souvenir there…). You can go there by bus, and you can also buy return tickets in the “Auberge” (around a hundred canadian dollars for a one day ticket Tadoussac-Montréal). And please tell them “Hi” for me (and don’t forget to ask “La Fin du Monde” to Anne-Marie at the bar). Pictures are here.
While searching “Tadoussac” on YouTube, I found this video shot during the summer there. There is much more people and it gives you an idea of the spirit there.
I would also take time to thank all the people who sent me emails recently. I’ve received so many nice and touching words. One again, thank you for everything and if you want to meet me, feel free to fill up this form !
