A wellness escape surrounded by nature at Spa Le Baluchon

Located in Saint-Paulin, in the Mauricie region, Spa Le Baluchon offers a wellness experience deeply rooted in nature. Whether you’re unwinding in the new infinity pool, immersing yourself in the Shinrin-yoku experience, or enjoying a massage by the water, each moment is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and embrace the tranquility that defines Le Baluchon.

Discover the new infinity pool

Spa Le Baluchon’s new infinity pool enhances the thermal experience with sweeping views of the Rivière du Loup and the surrounding natural landscape. Soak in the warm water, let the peaceful setting wash over you, and enjoy the restorative benefits of thermotherapy.

Outdoor hot tubs, a dry sauna, a cold waterfall, and a cold plunge pool create a thermal circuit designed to awaken the senses and release tension. Along the way, take time to admire the river, listen to the soothing sounds of the water, and simply enjoy the stillness. These quiet moments are an essential part of the experience, allowing a deep sense of relaxation to settle in.

Explore the forest differently

Rooted in the Japanese tradition of Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, this experience offers a different way to connect with nature. Guided through the estate’s forest trails, you’ll wander slowly, without anywhere specific to be or anything to do.

Over the course of approximately two hours, you’ll alternate between gentle walking, moments of silence, breathing exercises, and mindful sensory exploration. The forest’s sounds, scents, textures, and landscapes become points of focus, helping you slow down, reconnect, and fully embrace the moment.

Along the way, your thoughts will grow quieter, your breathing will deepen, and a sense of calm will gradually take hold. A simple way to recharge—just by taking the time to be present!

Treat yourself to a massage by the water

Treat yourself to a wellness experience unlike any other in Quebec with a massage by the river. With the flow of the Rivière du Loup and the soothing sounds of the forest all around you, enjoy a 60- or 90-minute treatment performed by an experienced massage therapist who uses a blend of gentle and deeper-pressure techniques to relax both body and mind. The calming presence of the river creates a peaceful atmosphere that enhances your sense of well-being throughout the treatment. A tranquil escape to release tension and recharge your batteries!
