For many years, the outfitter of the Domaine du lac Brouillard has been offering hunting and fishing enthusiasts great opportunities in the Charlevoix mountains. You are entitled to a whole new vision of this unique setting with the group of owners who have taken over.
Five French employees with extensive experience in outdoor adventures, fishing and more are now the owners. They come from the regions of Auvergne, Burgundy and the Alps.
“During a visit to my cousin Valentin Perrin, who had come to study natural environment techniques at Cégep de Saint-Félicien, I fell in love with the great outdoors of Quebec. That’s what prompted me to create a group to start the great adventure of the Domaine du lac Brouillard outfitter,” explained the group’s spokesman, Adrien Philippon.
“We have discovered this fantastic area and all the things to do in Charlevoix. We chose to invest to progress and create new adventures.”
Charles Thibault, Sébastien Moreau and Charles Moreau also dive into the adventure.

PROXIMITY AND NATURE
This outdoor specialist, who wanted to start an outfitter in Quebec, was immediately enchanted when he saw the mountains of Charlevoix.
“I really missed the mountains. I come from the Alps. When I arrived in Charlevoix, I knew I wanted to settle there. When I visited the outfitter, I saw that at altitude there were lakes of different sizes, mountains, reliefs and more. I really recognized myself in this area.
“We are also very close to the main road, 20 minutes away, with La Malbaie in one direction and La Baie in the other. For us it is really ideal compared to what we are already doing in France and what we want to do.
Currently the outfitter has eight chalets for accommodation on the European plan, classified four stars.
“We operate the exact same hunting and fishing activities in one of the outfitter’s 14 lakes. Only one of this number is set. A second can be seeded with large trout to keep customers happy. All others are stocked with local trout. They regenerate and we want to keep it that way.”

A PENSION
The construction of an inn is underway.
“At the heart of our activities in France, in the Auvergne region, we have set up summer camps offering stays with multiple activities. When I came with my partner Charles and we saw the potential, we knew we had to develop this concept.
“We needed an inn for this, especially as it is used for snowmobile rides in winter. Our program includes all activities on the outfitter, but also elsewhere in the region. It’s about bringing people to Tadoussac, Quebec, Les Palissades, Cap Jaseux and more…”
To achieve their development, they needed this hostel that can accommodate between 20 and 40 people. Two groups of young French people are already expected this summer. Of course, fishermen can also stay there and use the area to pursue their favorite hobby. Catering service will be available.
“In the winter, this new inn is sure to become a popular destination for snowmobile enthusiasts, both in Quebec and overseas.”
Arriving at the decorator of the Domaine du lac Brouillard, the group quickly recognized the potential of the place and the value of the Charlevoix nature. The five partners will develop new approaches that they already master very well and that have proven themselves in their other institutions.
To enjoy hunting and fishing in Charlevoix and to discover brand new activities, the outfitter of the Domaine du lac Brouillard is a destination of choice.
