A little charm bonus: La Petite École is an 1839 house that local tradition identifies as the parish's "lower school" — the most consistent candidate for Saint-Laurent's lost schoolhouse, carefully restored. A unique heritage character that modern rentals don't have — without compromising on today's comfort. Read the lost schoolhouse investigation.
