Parc Octopus — Hotel in Desbiens

We visited Parc Octopus in summer 2021 and 2022 while visiting family. The water game is unique and great for the whole family. The mini chalets are well furnished and convenient. An arcade-like gaming area and a restaurant were great additions in 2022. The staff went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and understood all of the instructions, even though English is not commonly used in the area.

In addition to spending the day at the Octopus, we also highly recommend making a stop at a viewpoint just 5 minutes driving away. The view of Lac Saint Jean lake is absolutely breathtaking. Finally, we also recommend a visit to the farm Ferme Mornarque, which is a 15 minutes drive from the Parc Octopus in the other direction. You can purchase fresh, high-quality fruits and vegetables there.

If you're in the area, we highly recommend giving it a try - you won't be...

We stayed at Octopus Parc near Lac Saint-Jean and absolutely loved the experience! The place is peaceful, surrounded by nature, and perfectly located for anyone who wants to relax and enjoy the beauty of the region. Our chalet was clean, cozy, and well-equipped, with everything needed for a comfortable stay — a great balance of comfort and rustic charm.

The atmosphere was calm and friendly, and it’s a wonderful spot for families, couples, or small groups. The area around the parc offers plenty of activities — from swimming and kayaking in the lake to hiking, biking, or just sitting by the water and enjoying the view.

Overall, Octopus Parc is a perfect place to stay if you want to enjoy the natural beauty of Lac Saint-Jean in a relaxing environment. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with easy access to outdoor activities...

The idea is great. The expérience with the staff terrible.

They will harass you for the life jackets if they don’t have enough for all the customers they let in. Even if the decks you sit on are on deep water and you have small children that should wear a life jacket at all time for safety, thé staff will Ask for them back!!!! However my perception is that they decided to harass my family for the day even while other people walk out of the games into the camping area with their life jackets!!!! They had young girls working there of about 10 years old as well. The game can hold up to 140 people, they didn’t have enough life jackets for each paying customer…. Time to invest on your business in the name of safety I don’t...
