Area Info

The Motel Canadien is located on one of the main commercial arteries of Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Boulevard Thibeau. The place ranks high in convenience among travelers who prefer to walk and patronize establishments that supply goods and services along the way. Right across or within a very short walking distance are major grocery stores (Metro or IGA) and pharmacies (Jean Coutu), from where snacks, beverages, or any travel necessity can easily be purchased.

For dining, the area is perfectly walkable to casual and family restaurants. Just a few steps from here are popular chains such as Tim Hortons (perfect coffee stop in the morning), St-Hubert (rotisserie chicken classic of Quebec), among other fast food options. Local diners and pizzerias also line the boulevard with hearty well-priced offerings. You're not walking to any museums from here, but you are walking to everything needed to sustain a comfy road trip.

For a touch of nature, Parc des Chenaux is just a fifteen-minute brisk walk (or two minutes by car) away. It’s a nice local park. However, here is where this place really works: immediate proximity to commerce. You can leave your car parked at your motel door and walk across the street to buy a bottle of wine and a pizza. That means a hassle-free evening once you’ve completed that long drive.
