Chalet Marée Basse | Charlevoix

Marée Basse presents itself as a retreat nestled between two rocks, emerging as the tide recedes. From the moment you arrive, your gaze is drawn to the river—an open escape stretching to the horizon. The bedroom volumes stand apart from the surrounding forest, while the lower-level living spaces open onto a terrace so vast, it feels like a suspended beach hovering above the horizon—an ideal gathering space for two families seeking warmth and connection. Clad in cedar shingles that weather to a soft grey under sun and storm, the chalet features raw elements like a long exposed concrete wall and a ceiling of natural wood. Its design embraces harmony with the surrounding nature. Cleverly positioned, Marée Basse remains discreet from the street, where only two small structures are initially visible. It’s only upon descending the spiral staircase that the vast open space below is revealed—where light and greenery dance in constant motion. Inviting you to unwind and take in the landscape, Marée Basse is the perfect balance between intimacy and communion with nature.
