La Cabane à Mario: A piece of Quebec at the Christmas market.
Since November 29, the famous Mario Cabin has been set up to delight visitors to the Christmas market. Created in 2012 by two Quebecers, Carole and Mario, this company offers a gourmet immersion in Quebec culture: maple syrups and biscuits, bison terrines, sweet whiskeys and craft beers like The Accursed or The End of the World. Recently taken over by two entrepreneurs with export expertise, the cabin continues to share its know-how internationally. A nice surprise for foodies… and for the lucky ones, a competition to win a trip to Quebec!
