Auberge Racine is an auberge-style gîte at 334 Rue Racine E in Chicoutimi, in a historic house also known as La Maison Bossé. The building is more than 150 years old and was built for Ovide Bossé, one of the city’s first notaries, so the stay is more intimate and heritage-focused than a standard chain hotel.

The room setup is specific and traditional: rooms include queen beds and private bathrooms. The lodging also includes cable television, wireless internet, and a private entrance, which gives the stay a practical base while keeping the character of an older Chicoutimi house.

The stay works well because breakfast is included in the building, and there is free parking on the property. Auberge Racine also offers a tea, herbal tea, and coffee service, so the morning routine is handled without needing to leave immediately after waking up.

This is a small gîte rather than a large hotel, so the tone of the stay should be read that way: historic house, central Chicoutimi address, private bathroom, breakfast, Wi-Fi, and on-site parking. English and French are spoken, which is useful for travelers who want a local property in Chicoutimi but still need straightforward communication during the stay.

The real limit is parking capacity: the property has parking for 7 vehicles. That matters if arriving by car during a busy period, because the free on-site parking is not unlimited.
