Auberge du Château Bahia in Pointe-à-la-Garde Québec, on Gaspésie Québec!

Anyone travelling to Canada should set Château Bahia as a destination. It really is a Dream Castle everyone can afford, a hostel extroardinaire. Located on the Gaspésie in Québec, just north of Cambellton New Brunswick, the beautiful photo cannot capture the amazing feeling that being at the castle or in the castle can bring. Members of Backpackers Hostels Canada visited this hostel in fall of 2011 and attest to it's grandeur and wonder. The story behind the castle is also amazing, and the plans ongoing at the hostel are a history in the making that you can become part of when you will visit (read a very brief history of Château Bahia).

View the photos, visit the website, and come to the hostel Château Bahia if you can. As Jean and Hervé have said on the hostel website, "the adventure continues" at Auberge du Château Bahia.
