Hôtel Le Francis

At Hôtel Le Francis, a wedding in New Richmond comes with a view of the clear waters of the Petite Cascapédia salmon river.

The four-season hotel sits in the heart of the Baie-des-Chaleurs, where routes 132 and 299 meet, with 38 units. Several rooms have private balconies facing the river and the surrounding nature.

For larger events, the hotel opens all of its space to weddings and private parties. The multipurpose hall welcomes up to 120 guests, and the Élisée and Roy rooms can be joined with a movable wall. Another room with a river view seats up to 60.

The Resto-Pub Bayou serves house-made dishes featuring local products, with a quieter restaurant side, a livelier pub side and a terrace overlooking the river. Its cellar holds more than 1,500 bottles, one of the largest in the Gaspésie.

Guests can enjoy a heated pool, a spa, bikes, kayaks, walking trails and a gym during their stay.

For couples who picture a relaxed Gaspésie celebration by a salmon river with good wine and everyone staying close, Hôtel Le Francis offers a wedding that feels warm and unhurried.
