The marina


Dore's Lodge

Paul Coulombe and Doris Roberge bought in 1973 from  René Legault and Marie Marcotte, who worked very hard for their livelihood.


About the Dore's Lodge

It was the Lake Shores Cabins at the time. Name inspired by the places that M. Legault visited in Florida.

The place has had many renovations by the new owners. Before itw as just one big building made of well-worked wood.

Unfortunately, i trains inside and even requires pots in certain places. Several layers of patch on the cover were made over the years. They demolished the old building and bought old cabins from the C.I.P. which came from Rapide 7 and this is what became the cabins that we know today.

They had baths filled with living minnows to be able to supply the fishermen.

It's important to mention that there are a lot of Americans who come to Angliers for fishing and hunting, whether for a short or a long stay.

Here we are in front of the garage and the marina of M. Paul Coulombe.

M. Coulombe started selling engines and boats when he owned the village garage now called the Dépanneur du Rond Point.

At the very beginning, there was a small cabin of the Canadian Pacific Railway (C.P.R.) on the land for engine repairs. He then used the rest of wood from the cabins of the Canadian International Paper (C.I.P) of the Rapide 7 and metal sheets to build his marina by the Lac des Quinze.

He repairs boat engines there.

For a few years, he will contiue to sell engines and boats as well.

Still today, after more than 50 years, M. Coulombe manages it’s marina and continues to carry out repairs as well as parking and storage of watercraft.

Pavillon Doré is the second company of M. Coulombe and his wife Doris Roberge, located near the marina. This outfitter was bought in 1973 and they did many renovations. Many customers, including Americans, come to stay for short or long periods to tease the fish during the summer season.
