A few minutes away from the majestic Lac-St-Jean, on

wooden grounds by the shore of lake Ouiatchouan, the

ermitage saint-antoine is a destination appreciated as

much by pilgrims than people on an inner quest or travelers

seeking natural beauty and tranquility. Founded in 1907 and

animated by the Capuchin’s religious order, this national

shrine offers great quality logging (cottage, hotel, camping),

a restaurant and many more activities and services: guided

tour, heritage buildings, museum and works of art, walking

trail, the famous Kapatakan (trail) of Our Lady (a 215 kilometers

Compostela-style pilgrimage) and so much more. The

ermitage saint-antoine a must-see to discover... once more

pilgrims, the ermitage saint-antoine has developed a place

Other for a moment or a few days.

OncE upOn a faith...Discover the fabulous story

of a man and his dream...

1. THE DREAM CONTINUES

In 1907, Abbé Elzéar DeLamarre founds ermitage saint-antoine, with a dream in his heart. A dream that keeps on

living thanks to the capuchins, present here since 1925.

2. VICTOR DELAMARRE

Possibly the strongest man in the world! The nephew of

Abbé DeLamarre, he accomplished a great feat at the age

of 26: with his left arm he did a devisse (counter clock

screwing move), lifting a 309.5 pounds weight. April 2nd in

2014 marked the centennial of this unequalled tour de force.

3. THE GROTTO

In 1912, Abbé DeLamarre finds a grotto that reminds him

of the one in Lourdes, France. He placed there a statue of

the Holy Virgin Mary. By this, the place became a shrine

dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes.

4. THE CALVARY

In 1918, a Calvary sculpted by Louis Jobin

and painted by Charles Huot is installed on

the grounds of the ermitage saint-antoine.

5. TIMELESS WORKS OF ARTCome appreciate masterpieces (statues, paintings, sculptures) of Louis Jobin, Charles Huot, Marius Plamondon, Blaise

Marchand, Guy Bruneau and many others.

6. OUR LADY OF LOURDES CHAPEL

In 1915, the chapel dedicated to Our Lady

Of Lourdes is built adjacent to the one

dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua at

the request of the pilgrims.

rEStaurant

Our restaurant, Le Campanile, distinguishes itself by its

shared menu and its table made of products from the regional

terroir. The shared menu is much appreciated by our visitors.

This friendly tasting gives you the opportunity to reconnect

with family or friends. During summertime, the clients of

Le Campanile can have their meal on our terrace, immersing

themselves in the sight of Lac Ouiatchouan. Bon appétit!

Our home-bakery, La Mie de saint-antoine, offers you

a good variety of daily fresh bread and mouth-watering

pastries. The bakery joins St. Anthony’s bread for the poor

charity founded by Abbé DeLamarre to its activity. When

buying some items at the bakery, you help ermitage saint-

antoine to continue helping the poor and needy and learn

more about poverty in the world and in québec.
