There are rooms reserved under PAPTAC Bleaching Committee for arrival May 25th, (Sunday), at a rate of $75.00 + tax per night, including breakfast except for Sunday morning. These rooms are reserved until May 10. (Steve was going to also approach the hotel to block off rooms starting May 24th, i.e. the Saturday night, since some of us will be needing to arrive Saturday to take advantage of better airfare deals).

If you need an alternate accommodation suggestion Steve suggested this motel. I did not get rate information.
St. Prime is the local 18 hole golf course and it will be open at the time of our meeting. The phone number I was given for the course
is (418) 251-2831. There was no one yet
available to provide information re: rates.
Many people have remarked favourably about the Zoo Sauvage (418) 679-0543. The zoo's hours May 24 and 25 will be 9 am
to 6 pm and the adult entrance fee is $25.
There is an historic
village Val-Jalbert nearby and much more.
Go to the Hotel du
Jardin website address noted above and choose Site Touristiques. This choice
will take you to a map of the area, a listing and website links for the area
attractions.
Flight and Ground Travel
Arrangements:
From
Steve's advice and looking at a map the airport options appear to be:
§
Bagotville,
being the closest and only a two hour drive to Saint-Felicien, but while there
are daily flights, convenient connection options may not be available.
The
following bigger centres may be alternate options and offer more frequent
connecting flights:
§
Quebec
City, a three ½ hour drive to Saint-Felicien,
§
Trois
Rivieres, a four ½ hour drive to Saint-Felicien, or
§
Montreal,
at what looks to be a 6 hour drive to Saint-Felicien.
Hertz,
National, and Budget rental cars are available at Bagotville and Quebec City
airports and those and more options may be available at the Trois Rivieres and
Montreal.
