La Récréation is the work of three visionary artists who love the Magdalen Islands, have been inspired by its école du Moulin and have chosen to give it a new lease of life. Located in the Bassin district of the island of Havre-Aubert, with the Moulin beach just below, this former rural school has been both remodeled and enlarged. It now boasts two lofts—magnificent apartments attractively furnished. One comprises two bedrooms and large open dining and kitchen area that can easily accommodate 12 to meals. The other spans two floors, of which the upper offers a lovely panoramic view. The building's second floor has also four large bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and balcony looking seaward. Guests have access to a community kitchen, a barbecue, and picnic tables. All the foodstuffs you need for preparing meals are available a few paces down the road. The food store, next-door neighbour of La Récréation, makes its own pastries and French bread, offers a wide range of local produce, and includes a SAQ counter with alcoholic drinks. The location attracts both nature lovers and lovers of sport. The former benefit from the Islands' countryside, while the latter can indulge in a variety of activities, including swimming, Kayaking and kite surfing. Hikers can follow the path leading to Bassin's fishing port. Kite surfing enthusiasts will find themselves particularly at home—both in summer and winter these choreographers of amazing air-ballets enjoy ideal conditions. A place of true relaxation and leisure, La Récréation provides a fairyland setting. Once you have discovered it, you will not want to leave this new haven.
