A group of us want to do a bag ride from St.Zenon to La Tuqe (sp?). Whats the best place to stay at a reasonable price?

and also which place is closest to the peeler bars!

I don't think there are any in LaTuque!

This is the place we stayed in La Tuque,great owners,clean and reasonable. Plus if you are with a group you basically take over the bar and serve youself! :beerchug:

Motel des 9 is quite popular amongst snowmobilers.I remember last year on a weekend there was about 200 sleds in the parking lot

Mid Range,

Motel des 9, is that the place we had rabbit steak?

Giterdone: There are two places owned by Chez Marineau. Motel des 9 and Motel Le Gite. We stayed at Le Gite as Motel 9 was booked. Motel 9 is the better place with more rooms and better restaurant. Le Gite was good but the restaurant was just ok. I must say however I don't think Le Gite was owned by the Marineau people. It may be better now. I have stayed at the motel des 10 in Grand Mere and that was very nice.

Motel Les Gite 1-888-323-9501

Motel des 9 1-800-567-4551

I've done that ride from St Zenon to LaTuque , great ride, enjoy . Combat

I don't think there are any in LaTuque! [/quote There is at IDEAL MOTEL Down Stairs, But do not sleep in that motel. Also take a Taxi from MOTEL 9 cost 5.00 Buck. Don't even think of taking your sled over to the IDEAL.Eh"

either that or a boiled steak :smilielol:

I remember Howard throwing from both ends :burp:

Last year we stayed at Motel des 9 and we'd go back.

I always liked staying over at the Club Odanak on 347...its about 12 miles south of La tuque...its strictly for overnight stays...no trailering/parking...prices are reasonable. Motel 9 or Motel LE Gite in La Tuque are ok also.

Went by, but never stayed at Odanak, that place looks awesome from the outside. Huge log cabine.
Look http://www.clubodanak.com/anglais/index0.html

Rooms at the Odanak are a bit compact...but their chef more than makes up for it. Price of the rooms include meals..also decent bar if thirsty. :beer: Place is definetly unique.

I remembered the name of the motel it's called The Ranch right off the trail on the way into LaTuque :beerchug:

Hey, I stayed there 2 years ago, was the summer, great place....

Thanks for all of your input. Sounds like where ever we go it should be a good time! :beerchug:
I just hope the weather starts to get colder soon ! :banghead:

Just a thought...if leaving from St Zenon by 9:00 am... you will make La Tuque sometime after mid-day. Might want to consider reservations at Relias 22 or Lac Edouard if 355 is open. We use to go to La Tuque a number of different times back in the late 80's...early 90's.. starting in St Zenon or St Michel Des
Saints and return back for a day trip. Although the trails were different back then..it never took all that long to reach La Tuque. Just be sure to dress warm enough when heading that way.

The Ideal Motel has a peeler bar down stairs 2 minutes from Motel 9.
