Along the southwestern shore of the Lac Saint-Jean lake lies the quaint and historic town of Roberval.

Today, it’s a quiet town that offers a relaxing respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. Whether you choose to visit the French-speaking town for its rich history, stunning architecture, or just to relax by the lake, check out these Airbnb vacation rentals for one that best suits your needs and itinerary!
