Our story
Welcome to Les Ancestrales, a unique collection of three historic houses nestled in the heart of Saint-Hyacinthe's historic center. More than just accommodation, Les Ancestrales reflects a deep passion for heritage, held by its owners, François and Christine.
Artists at heart, François—an actor/musician—and Christine—a singer—have developed over the years a particular sensitivity to the atmospheres, eras, and stories that inhabit these places. Their artistic background naturally influences their approach to hospitality: each house becomes a living stage, where the decor, materials, and light tell a story.
With nine years of experience in tourist and business accommodation, and a five-star reputation across various platforms, they have created spaces where contemporary comfort blends seamlessly with the authenticity of the surroundings. But beyond the quality of the century-old apartments, it is their commitment to heritage preservation that truly sets their project apart.
Driven by a genuine passion for old houses, François and Christine have dedicated their time, energy, and meticulous attention to detail to restoring these architectural treasures. Each intervention is carefully considered with respect for the spirit of the buildings and their former occupants, preserving their unique character while breathing new life into them.
Welcoming visitors from all over is a source of genuine joy for them. They take pleasure in showing off these homes, as well as the history and charm of the city center, with a warm and personal touch that leaves a lasting impression.
Staying at Les Ancestrales means entering a world where art, history and hospitality meet — guided by two passionate people who have made these houses much more than places to pass through: true experiences to be lived.
