Our history

Here’s a little history about our family business, this magnificent ancestral house, and the families who have called it home over the years.

This imposing American Foursquare-style house was built in 1923 by Joseph Gosselin Sr., a respected local builder who also served as an alderman for the City of Lévis for about ten years. In 1881, he settled on Saint-Georges Street with his wife, Odile Aubin, with whom he had 11 children. A loyal friend and collaborator of Commandeur Alphonse Desjardins, he was one of the founding members of the Caisse populaire de Lévis in 1900.

The head of a successful company and assisted by his eldest son, Joseph Junior, Boss Gosselin, as he was known, oversaw dozens of major infrastructure projects during his career, including churches, convents, hospitals, cathedrals, warehouses, railway stations, banks, libraries, bridges, and stately homes.

Joseph Gosselin Sr. (1847-1924) – The house with its original red brick – Odile Aubin (1849-1932)

On September 18, 1922, the house, store, offices, and lumber yard of the Compagnie Jos. Gosselin Ltée were destroyed in a tragic fire. In 1923, shortly before his death in January 1924, Joseph Gosselin Sr. was able to build himself a new house on the site of the old building on Saint -Georges Street. It is this second Gosselin family home that today houses Le Plumard Couette et Café.

From the 1960s to the 1980s, the house was home to the Bélanger family. Its patriarch, Raynold, was a well-known local lawyer who practiced out of offices on the ground floor. The property changed hands twice in the 1990s.

Although its exterior appearance has changed over time, the house has retained a distinctive cachet inside, with its grand staircases, woodwork, stained glass, decorative mouldings, and original windows and floors. It is a true gem of Old Lévis’ built heritage.

In the early 2000s, Anne Fleury and André Carrier became the new owners. They converted the house and transformed it into a B&B and tourist residence. It was under their watch that the establishment earned its stellar reputation.

André Carrier and Anne Fleury pass on the Le Plumard torch in 2021

In November 2021, Tony Lavoie and Marie-Josée Dumas took a big step towards their dream of running a B&B and purchased the property—in the middle of the pandemic! It was a courageous but exhilarating move for the little family, who were about to embark on an incredible entrepreneurial adventure.

For Marie-Josée, it was a return to her native region and a nod to her late grandfather, who was an innkeeper for many years in the small municipality of Sainte-Claire, near Lévis. For Tony, originally from Maniwaki in the Outaouais region, becoming a hotelier was the natural extension of his past experience in tourism development, hospitality, and management.

The owners are supported in this exciting adventure by their three sons and Marie-Josée’s mother, Patricia, who all contribute to ensuring guests of Le Plumard enjoy an unforgettable experience worthy of the finest hotels.

We look forward to welcoming you soon!
