Living at Mellem Manoir-des-Trembles: where nature meets city life in Gatineau

Choosing an apartment to rent is about more than a place to live. It’s about choosing a lifestyle and a neighbourhood to call home.

At Mellem Manoir-des-Trembles, developed by Maire Carré, it all starts with an exceptional location. Situated on boulevard Saint-Raymond in the heart of Gatineau’s Old Hull sector,  the project faces Gatineau Park, one of the region’s most beautiful natural areas. Here, wide-open spaces, bike paths, local shops and public transit come together in a residential neighbourhood known for its peaceful atmosphere and sense of security.

Whether you’re a young professional, an active family, a retiree, living on your own or a couple looking for a quieter pace without giving up the convenience of city life, Manoir-des-Trembles offers the perfect balance.

This neighbourhood makes it easy to enjoy the best of city living while staying close to nature.

Live close to Gatineau Park, an impressive protected area spanning more than 360 m² and managed by the National Capital Commission. With hundreds of kilometres of trails, scenic lookouts (like the famous Champlain Lookout overlooking the Eardley Escarpment), forests and lakes (like lac des Fées, located near the project), it is a true four-season playground. 

Whatever the season, there’s always a way to enjoy the park at your own pace, just minutes from home—whether you’re into hiking, running, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or simply going for a walk. 

The neighbourhood is also home to several green spaces popular with local residents, including Marcel-Chaput, Parc Brébeuf along the Ottawa River, the Moore Farm Trail and the Champlain Ecological Corridors, known for their hiking and cycling routes.

Having nature this close makes a real difference in everyday quality of life, giving you the chance to unplug and recharge without ever having to leave the city.

The desire to live in harmony with the surrounding environment is reflected in the design of Mellem Manoir-des-Trembles itself. Developed by Maître Carré, the property has earned LEED Silver certification, thanks in part to measures that promote energy efficiency, responsible water and waste management, and sustainable transportation. A green and white roof, composting on every floor, electric vehicle charging stations and ample bicycle storage are just some of the features that help create a more sustainable place to live, with zero compromise on comfort. 

Manoir-des-Trembles is especially appealing to cyclists.

The neighbourhood offers direct access to more than 300 kilometres of bike paths connecting Gatineau, Ottawa, Gatineau Park and many of the region’s green spaces. Cyclists can also easily reach downtown Gatineau, Université du Québec en Outaouais (UQO), the University of Ottawa and several major employment hubs.

This level of connectivity makes active transportation a natural part of everyday life, whether you’re commuting to work, running errands or heading out for a family ride.

Mellem Manoir-des-Trembles fits perfectly into this way of life, so having a car becomes a choice rather than a necessity.

Living in a peaceful place doesn’t mean having to give up easy access to everyday essentials. 

Manoir-des-Trembles puts shops, grocery stores, pharmacies, schools and a wide range of services within easy reach. Most everyday essentials are less than five minutes from the project, making everything from grocery runs to last-minute errands simple and convenient.

Food lovers will love the nearby Maison ODDO, a bakery and pastry shop known for its quality creations. Its chef-owner was even named Quebec’s best pastry chef in 2021.

Within a 20-minute bike ride, or around 10 minutes by car, you’ll find an abundance of restaurants to choose from, including Tonalli, Le Foubrac, Le BBQ Shop, La Teranga, Mekatos, Bistro La Gargouille and Cellier.

For a different kind of night out, Casino du Lac-Leamy is also close by. A popular Gatineau destination, it offers much more than gaming, with shows, events, restaurants and entertainment throughout the year. 

If you feel like a change of scenery, Chelsea is right next door. With its natural landscapes, outdoor activities, great local spots and village atmosphere, this neighbouring municipality makes for an easy escape just minutes from home. 

The area also offers plenty of recreational options, with the Royal Ottawa Golf Club, Champlain Golf Club and Cinéma StarCité Gatineau all close by.

One of the biggest benefits of living at Mellem Manoir-des-Trembles is its proximity to Ottawa.

In just a few minutes, you can cross the Ottawa River and reach downtown Ottawa, major government buildings, national museums, universities, restaurants and the capital’s many cultural attractions.

The capital’s cultural and events scene is the perfect complement to the more relaxed pace of life at Manoir-des-Trembles. Major shows, concerts, festivals, museums, exhibitions, sporting events and acclaimed restaurants mean there’s always a good reason to cross the river.

Sports fans can catch the NHL’s Ottawa Senators, cheer on the CFL’s Ottawa Redblacks or attend any number of sports events held throughout the region. When it comes to culture, major venues and institutions such as the National Arts Centre, the National Gallery of Canada and the Canadian Museum of History offer diverse programming year-round.

Ottawa’s food scene is also well worth exploring, with countless restaurants, cafés and markets offering another way to experience the National Capital Region. Add in major seasonal events—from Canada Day and Winterlude to festivals and cultural celebrations throughout the year—and there’s never a shortage of things to do.

The location is especially convenient for professionals working in the National Capital Region, along with anyone looking to access a wider range of cultural, sporting and dining experiences without living in the middle of the urban bustle.

Living at Mellem Manoir-des-Trembles means enjoying the best of both cities: nature and calm at home, with all the energy of Gatineau and Ottawa just minutes away.
