Because in Silo, you should know that if there are two things that make our hearts skip a beat, it’s the century-old houses and the river views. Let’s say this residence falls right in the mile.

Built in 1664, it was one of the first houses built in Île d’Orléans. Since then, major works have been carried out to preserve its condition, but its original charm remains.
