Visiting Montreal is an unforgettable experience. The city is full of culture, gastronomy, and unique activities. But let’s be honest: staying directly on the island of Montreal can quickly become stressful. Between heavy traffic, streets blocked by countless orange cones, and the difficulty of finding parking, many travelers end up losing time and energy.
​
This is where Le Refuge du Poète, located in the heart of Old Longueuil, becomes an ideal alternative.

​Our bed and breakfast is located in Longueuil, just across the river, only about 25 minutes by car from downtown Montreal. You enjoy the proximity of the city while benefiting from the tranquility of a charming historic neighborhood, rich in heritage and warm ambiance.

​Finding parking on the island of Montreal can be a real challenge… With us, you don’t have to worry: reserved parking spaces are available for our guests.

​The Longueuil–Montreal river shuttle allows you to reach Montreal’s Old Port directly by crossing the river—a picturesque experience in itself. You can also quickly access the Longueuil metro, which connects to many neighborhoods on the island without having to deal with city traffic.

​Le Refuge du Poète is also a strategic stop for travelers moving between Montreal and other destinations in Quebec, such as the city of Quebec or Sherbrooke. It’s a restful stop where you can enjoy a warm welcome, cozy comfort, and a delicious breakfast before continuing your journey.

​Staying with us also means discovering Old Longueuil: its streets full of history, its cozy restaurants, cafés, and small shops. It’s a destination in itself, adding a unique dimension to your visit to the region.

​Le Refuge du Poète combines the best of both worlds: proximity to Montreal without the hassle, and the tranquility of a historic neighborhood with an authentic atmosphere. Whether you’re visiting to explore the city or just passing through, our bed and breakfast welcomes you in a warm and inspiring setting.

​Each type of accommodation offers a different experience. Whether you are looking for the modern comfort of a hotel, the affordable price of a motel, the flexibility of an Airbnb rental, or the warm welcome of a B&B, your choice shapes how you will experience your stay.

​Hotels offer spacious, modern rooms with private bathrooms and a front desk available. Ideal for business travelers or those seeking a practical and efficient stay. The atmosphere is often more impersonal, but the comfort is consistent.

​Motels appeal with their price and convenience. They provide the essentials: bed, bathroom, and parking. A simple option for one night or a short stay, though quality may vary.

​Airbnb rentals provide an entire home and more autonomy. They are flexible but often without personalized welcome or included breakfast. Perfect for independent travelers, though less culturally immersive.

​B&Bs offer an intimate and personal experience. With a limited number of rooms and homemade breakfasts, they allow guests to discover the local culture in a warm setting.

​This is the case of Le Refuge du Poète, in the heart of Old Longueuil. Housed in a Canadian home from 1854, this historically charming B&B offers a friendly welcome, carefully prepared breakfasts, and an authentic immersion in Québécois culture. Here, the journey begins the moment you step through the door.
