La Cabane à Pierre 

(Pierre’s Log Cabin), is located in Saint-Édouard-de-Frampton, in the region
called La Beauce, 35 minutes south of Québec city. An incursion into the
past will lead you to an impressive log structure made entirely of wood,
isolated by hand with natural fiber (tow), huge central wood furnace, 
oil lamps, massive wooden tables and benches, stone bread oven, 
beautiful century-old wood stoves and so on. This typical lumber jack
cabin was built in 1993 by the owner Pierre Faucher on his ancestors 
land, in the woods where maple trees grant us with sweet water.

Century old sugar shack and the trapper camp

Visitors will discover the secrets of the traditional maple sugar ritual 
so dear to the Québec folks while our guide leads you to the century
old family Faucher sugar shack. Also, you can learn about fur trade
and the men who, often unknown, risked their lives and are undoubtedly
part of our history.

Festive atmosphere 

La Cabane à Pierre holds, within its environment, a long legacy of traditional
Quebec feasts handed down by its ancestors : folk music and traditional dance,
" all you can eat " home made meals served at noon or supper time, warm
crackling wood fire and the delicious smell of slow baking bread. Come and
join us In this wild atmosphere, you will be transported at La Cabane à Pierre !

The Faucher family : one hundred years of history
1905, Napoléon Faucher and his wife, Vitaline Lafontaine bought their 
farm and maple grove in Frampton. Ten children are born from this union: 
Odilon, Marie-Louise, Jules (father of Pierre Faucher, owner of La Cabane
à Pierre), Tancrède, Émile, Clarida, Romuald, Philippe, Emmanuel et
Alphonse. Philippe will take over his father’s house, farm and sugar shack
to pass it on to Pierre in 1988 who will then build what is today known
as La Cabane à Pierre.
 Although the Fauchers maple grove has kept its original 
aspect with its buckets and wood boiler, its destiny will be somewhat transformed 
in 1993 with the opening of La Cabane à Pierre. Since, tourists from around the world come throughout the year to get in touch with Quebec’s traditionnal 
sugar partys in a family atmosphere, authentic and festive.
