My husband and I found this B&B on Tripadvisor and chose it based on the reviews. We were a bit nervous as the reviews almost seemed too good to be true. However, we were pleasantly surprised that they were right on target! Gerard and Lucie were wonderful hosts! Lucie is an excellent cook (she carefully keeps track of what you've eaten so that you don't get the same meal twice) and their lovely B&B is spotless and perched right on the river bank with wonderful views of the St. Lawrence. We weren't sure about staying on Ile d'Orleans instead of staying in the city, but now we are SO glad we did. Ile d'Orleans is a beautiful, quaint little island right in the middle of the St. Lawrence River, across from Quebec City. It didn't take us long (maybe 30 minutes) to drive from our B&B to the city. We highly recommend this B&B and will definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Quebec!

Giron de L'Isle is a 5 bedroom B & B overlooking the St Lawrence Seaway on Isle D'Orleans near Quebec City. About a 40 minute drive to the city thru rolling farmland, apple orchards and 18th century homes. Lucy and Gerard, our hosts took great pride in their immaculate and beautifully decorated rooms. We had a room overlooking the river. Breakfasts made by Lucy would rate higher than any 5 start restaurant. A 5 course gourmet feast. Fruit cut into perfect designs, Flowers accenting each course. Crepes, waffles, amazing presentations of eggs, luscious desserts and individually made coffee. Our vacation was enhanced by these morning feasts before heading off for a day of exploration in Quebec City and surrounding areas. I would highly recommend this B & B.

We only stayed one night during a recent trip to Quebec City, but we could have stayed here and traveled in daily(about 20 minutes away). The Au Giron is located on the south side of Ile d'Orleans with a view across the St. Lawerence to the south shore. Our room was on the second floor with a garden view, but it was quite large and very nicely decorated. Everything was very clean and we were made to feel very much at home. There was a coffee urn provided in the morning and a five course gourmet breakfast that still leaves us wondering how Madame Lucie does it every day. This breakfast I'm sure contributes to the 5 star rating for this B & B. You will not find anything better anywhere. Definetely no need for lunch each day that you stay at the Au Giron de I'Isle!

Lucie and Gerard and their wonderful establishment draw us back year after year. Just 20 minutes from Old Quebec, this bed and breakfast provides you with gourmet food, warm people, immaculate and tasteful surroundings and the restful getaway that busy people are always looking for. I cannot say enough about Lucie and Gerard's attention to their guests and genuine friendliness. Lucie's abilities in preparing and presenting the breakfast meal can only be found in 5 star restaurants. Gerard takes delight in his role as host at the table and keeps all his guests interested and laughing for the morning event. In many years of travelling around North America, I can honestly say that Le Giron is the very best lodging value I have ever found. When you cross the bridge from the mainland onto the island, you will feel as though you were transported through time to another era when there was no need to hurry. You do not have to fly to Europe to have the ultimate French experience. It is all waiting for you at a fraction of the cost on the Isle d'Orleans!
