the historic market of Saint-Hyacinthe where many merchants and artisans offer their local products

In the heart of Saint-Hyacinthe, the historic downtown exudes irresistible charm: heritage facades, independent boutiques, inviting cafés, and a vibrant cultural scene. It is in this lively and deeply human neighborhood that you'll find three of our accommodations: Villa Casavant, Maison Turcot, and Maison Jodoin. Each has been carefully restored and furnished to offer a refined, intimate experience inspired by the history of Saint-Hyacinthe—all while being just steps away from the city's best attractions.


A neighborhood where everything is within walking distance.

Staying in one of our houses in Saint-Hyacinthe means enjoying immediate access to everything that makes the city centre so special:

  • The Public Market : a must-see to taste local products, meet artisans and stock up for your dinner with friends.

  • Cinémaska : a vibrant cultural venue featuring independent cinema, special events and a cozy bistro housed in the former 1936 Maska Theatre.

  • Le Zaricot venue : a cult location for the emerging music scene and vibrant evenings.

  • The Juliette-Lassonde Arts Centre : A modern cultural centre offering a rich program of theatre, music, dance and large-scale shows.

  • Le Bilboquet Microbrewery : a renowned craft microbrewery, ideal for enjoying a local beer and grabbing a bite after a stroll around town.

  • The SAQ : very convenient for accompanying your stay with a good bottle of wine.

  • A host of local shops : fashion, bookstores, artisan workshops, thrift stores – real little finds that make you want to stroll around.
