For music, Rafaëlle Roy and Trudy Simoneau will record two performances at the Auberge Saint-Gabriel that will be shown on their Instagram accounts. For everyone’s enjoyment, they will also share a playlist of their Christmas classics.

Will the atmosphere be festive?

Christmas means music! For this event, Eska has invited the a cappella vocal ensemble The Rainbows. After tours in Europe and the United States, the ensemble will make the Auberge Saint-Gabriel resonate with its sweet harmonies, just for you.

What is Eska’s commitment to the planet?

We’re proud to offer natural spring water from Quebec and to use 100% recycled and recyclable plastic exclusively. With the goal of eliminating the production of new plastic, we reduce, recycle, and reuse. That’s what we call the (re)cycle of life.

Did you know that the bottles we use for our sparkling natural spring water are also 100% recycled and recyclable? Just as pure as our natural spring water, our sparkling water adds a touch of excitement to your day.
