Acknowledged "  Canadian Tourism Ambassador ", Pierre Faucher has 
been travelling around the world for more than 25 years now, in 
order to spread the knowledge of the pleasures of our sumptuous 
maple products and the french-canadian folk traditions. He his the 
first man from Québec to promote our sugar partys in Europe, in 
the United-States aswell as in Asia. Tall, sturdy, colorful and very 
natural, Pierre is, without any doubt, Québec’s tourist industry best 
known representative at an internalional level. 

Often, he is chosen as host ou spokesman in different cultural and tourist manifestations 
in collaboration with the government of Canada, of Quebec, of France,
Belgium, Switzerland and Italy, to name just a few.                                         
Pierre Faucher shares his time between his three (2) folk establisments 
that is : La Cabane à Pierre in Frampton  as well as La Sucrerie de la Montagne 
in Rigaud, near Montréal (Qc). 

The Faucher : Maple sugar knowledge passed down from father to son

After Napoléon (born in 1881), his son Jules (born 1903) and his 
son Pierre (1946), the fourth 4^th generation of maple sugar connaisseurs 
is maintained by Pierre’s son, Stéfan.Stéfan was born in Rigaud (Québec), 
a town situated between Ottawa and Montréal. On february 15, 1978, the 
exact same day the new sugar cabin investment was born : 
La Sucrerie de la Montagne was officially inaugurated. Stéfan’s first 
memories are impregnated with traditionnal folk music, the delicious smell 
of boiling maple water in the sugar shack and the festive mood around the 
family table loaded with appetizing (and sweet!) home-made food!
