How to get to the Velan Pavilion
The Velan astronomy Pavilion is located in the heart of Domaine Saint-Bernard, away from all light pollution, an ideal location for stargazing. On-site, you’ll get the chance to observe celestial objects through the second-largest public-access telescope in Québec. A rare experience in an exceptional setting.
The short trail leading to the pavilion is minimally lit to preserve the authenticity of the astronomical experience.

Themes that change every month
Astronomy evenings at Domaine Saint-Bernard are constantly evolving. Each season features a new theme. Come back throughout the year to discover the sky like never before.
October to December 2025 Theme:
Asteroids and Meteoroids: Impacts on Earth
Earth is constantly bombarded by meteoroids — small fragments that often burn up in the atmosphere — and by larger asteroids. While most impacts pose no danger, some have caused major catastrophes in the past. Today, new technologies are being developed to detect and prevent such threats.
