Bonjour and welcome to you all... Web voyagers!

Our new association (APGTQ, which stands for Québec Provincial Association of B&B's) and this Web site have been created in order to serve you better.

APGTQ, which operates on a volontary basis, is an independent and dynamic group, which aims at serving its members in all twenty regions of the province of Québec.

APGTQ wants you to discover the distinctive features of the B&B's owned by its innkeepers.

In the province of Québec alone, there are 1667 B&B's waiting to welcome you in as many diversified ways with their 6000 personalized bedrooms and a large selection of home made, inventive and gourmet, breakfasts... all of which account for the success of this lodging concept.

Many of you in your travels have already experienced and enjoyed room and breakfast in a residential dwelling...it is your home away from home!

You will make new discoveries every time you visit a region, city or village... and above all, you will always be welcomed by our hospitable innkeepers. Have a good trip!

What is a typical B&B in the province of Québec ?

A B&B is a private family dwelling composed of one to a maximum of five bedrooms, where guests are welcomed and served by its owners-occupiers. Posted rates (excluding taxes) include the room for one night and breakfast. Certain establishments offer shared or private bathrooms

An outdoor sign (yellow lettering on a blue background) displays the name of the B&B, along with the classification (one to five Suns) issued by the provincial tourism authority (Corporation de l'industrie touristique du Québec - www.CITQ.qc.ca).

Each establishment is inspected every 2 years based on 200 predetermined criteria.
