Auberge des Balcons

Baie St Paul


In this former infirmary, the chapel is now a living room stocked with records and VHS videos, and a separate 'after hours' room has guitars and a piano for musical jams. The two- and four-bed dorms and private rooms with shared baths are simple but comfortable; the singles are good value for solo travelers who want private sleeping spaces.
