The traditional dwelling of nomads living on the steppes of Central Asia, the yurt is both charming and rustic. A round canvas tent with a hardwood floor, a yurt has ample windows for unobstructed views of your peaceful surroundings. Its round shape is soothing and relaxing and its skylights let you stargaze. Stylishly appointed and fully equipped, a yurt makes for a comfortable, turnkey vacation. Available in the Parcs Québec network since 2005, it has quickly become a favourite with vacationers. With 3 new yurts in Bic and Plaisance national parks, there are now 28 yurts, some of which are available year round.
