House on the Cape in Kamouraska | river, 360° view

La Maison sur le Cap is a life project that brings together my passions: the art of living, design and Kamouraska. Perched on a headland overlooking the river, the islands, the mudflats and the farmland, it seems to offer one of the most beautiful views in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region. 😉 Feel the power of the elements: the sun, the tides, the dance of the birds—a landscape that transforms with the passing hours. The terrace, the open space and the eclectic décor add to the spectacle. 🎨
