The story<\/h2>\n

Not many people know the true story behind Village Grande Nature Chic-Chocs, which (believe it or not) is located on the site of a former Gasp\u00e9sian village, Saint-Octave-de-l\u2019Avenir! At its peak, the village was home to 1,124 inhabitants.<\/p>\n

Closed in 1971, the village has served various functions over the years, including a training camp for Air Force, Army and Navy cadets. It has also been a favourite location for folk music festivals.<\/p>\n

Traces of the Past<\/h2>\n

Two buildings still bear witness to the existence of Saint-Octave-de-l\u2019Avenir and its people. The convent and church are priceless heritage gems that evoke the past.<\/p>\n

Village Grande Nature Chic-Chocs not only boasts an authentic former village feel, but guests get the chance to travel back in time!<\/p>\n
