A Unique B&B in Bathurst, July 2013

After the Bathurst booksigning, I stayed at a 
unique B&B, Star of the Harbour (L’Etoile du Havre). 
 Must have cost over a million to build.
The Innkeeper, Denis Hachey, is a history buff.
He dreams big... he wants to erect in Bathurst Harbour,
 a huge $2.5 million aluminum sculpture of The Phantom
Ship (which appears in my book #3) the legend known 
all over the Gaspe but especially a favourite in Bathurst. 
See the website www.phantomship.ca
I found my bathroom astonishingly modern...
...and the bedrooms were amazingly decorated.
...all a showcase for the ultra modern, which only 
the two partners, Denis and Benoit Perron, the principal 
of a French high school, would ever be able to create. 



The next day we searched for a cafe latte, 
and found a poster in the foyer...
...of Au Café Gourmet.  
Romain LeClair, another history buff who 
works at the inn, made a terrific turkey 
mushroom loaf, and served us delicious coffee.
