Historic mining inn in Val-d'Or, set within a designated heritage village
Location & Setting
Auberge L'Orpailleur sits in the Village minier de Bourlamaque, a designated historical site since 1979. The inn is a few steps from La Cité de l'Or, Canada's only site that takes visitors into the heart of a gold mine. Val-d'Or Airport is 5 km away.
Building & History
The building started as a boarding house for single miners working at the Lamaque mine in 1935. In the mid-1990s, Nicole Garceau and Dominique Gay Spriet transformed it into the current inn. The property has undergone minor renovations that respected its original spirit, preserving its authentic character.
Rooms & Amenities
Each unit is equipped with a microwave, fridge, coffee machine, kitchenware, and kettle. The shared bathroom is newly renovated, and rooms have independent locks. Heating is provided throughout, and the property offers free private parking and free WiFi.
Shared Spaces
Guests have access to a full-service kitchen, a dining room, and a sitting area on the enclosed porch. An outdoor patio offers additional seating. Check-in and check-out are handled entirely electronically.
Nearby Activities
La Cité de l'Or showcases one of Canada's most productive gold mine exploitations. The historic mining village still has original log homes from the miners, including houses n°101 and 124 with information from local residents. A nice restaurant is a couple of walking minutes away, and a brewpub is within comfortable walking distance.
Highlights
Location: Designated heritage village, steps from La Cité de l'Or
Rooms: Units with full kitchenware, independent locks
Check-in: Entirely electronic process
Parking: Free private parking on site
“This establishment offers a remarkably well-maintained and quiet atmosphere, particularly notable given its historical roots as a miner's boarding house. The thoughtful renovations respect the building's past while ensuring comfortable stays, and its position within the historic mining district makes it a compelling base for exploring the region's rich heritage.”
