Conventions
Have you considered the Îles de la Madeleine ?
In the Îles de la Madeleine, there are no city timetables. You can leave the urban madness far behind and enjoy a place where time and tide are conducive to thought, where the atmosphere encourages productive discussion. You are sure to hear someone say, “This is the Islands – it's not the same…».
With this in mind, you can see that the Îles de la Madeleine would be a creative choice for business discussions, for recharging and renewing the energies of your convention circuit and business meetings. The Islands offer you a completely new environment where you can expect to find exotic landscapes, the ever-present sea, fresh lobster, the authentic culture of the Islanders, water sports and activities and, especially, peace of mind. The only thing missing in this picture is you !
Gastronomic delights ... pleasures for all seasons !
The fishing season starts up in the spring, and this would be the perfect time for you to organize your company event. You will be able to combine productive work sessions with an exploration of the culinary delights of our famous regional cuisine featuring incomparably fresh fish and seafood. Herbs, cheeses, delicatessen meats, smoked herring, locally brewed beverages: these are only a few of the local products you will savor, delighting in the delicate aromas and flavors found only in the Magdalen archipelago.
But you really prefer the mellow light and warm breezes of September ? No problem ! This is the perfect month for outdoor activities of all kinds, and September is a perfect dream for nature lovers looking for new sights and sounds, new experiences ! The ideal season for a game of golf by the sea with your colleagues!
Take a break between work sessions and go boating or swimming, take a guided tour of one of the many attractions on the Islands or investigate the visual arts and crafts circuit. You, your spouse and your family will be bewitched and beguiled by the beauties and secrets of the Îles de la Madeleine.
With this in mind, the hotels of the Îles de la Madeleine offer you their assistance in planning your next company event. Turnkey corporate packages available.
So accessible... so close !
Several airlines offer daily flights to the Islands from Montreal, Quebec, Mont-Joli and Gaspé. For help making travel arrangements for your group, you can contact one of the travel agencies on the Îles de la Madeleine for assistance with chartered flights. If your time frame is more flexible, you should know that airline and steamship services can be easily combined through Prince Edward Island or Montreal. If this option interests you, an innovative "convention-cruise" from the city towards the Îles de la Madeleine would let you start your business activities on board the N.M. Vacancier and give you a chance to view the glories of the Saint Lawrence. You can also come to the Islands by bus from Quebec city, Rivière-du-Loup, Edmunston, Fredericton, Moncton and Charlottetown.
For your travel needs on the Islands, several businesses offer automobiles for rent.
An organization devoted to your service
Depending on your needs, Tourisme Îles de la Madeleine can prepare tourist information kits which will display many interesting possibilities for an event held on the Islands, as well as a list of activities, attractions and services offered at this destination. We can also help you plan and promote your event.
For more information concerning arrangements for your upcoming convention or business meeting, we invite you to contact us. We would be delighted to help you make your project a reality.
