It was during in the Middle Ages. King Robert has the idea to built a castle at his court. He wanted it as far as possible to find in it peace. This castle were known as "Château de Vauvert". In the popular speech, the expression "aller à vauvert" means to move away to relax and meet interesting peoples.

The king died and the castle was deserted. Without occupants, crooks and ghosts lived in it. The people around believed then that the castle was haunted and the devil had take it in possession. We begin to hear the expression "aller au diable vauvert". Some years later, King Robert's successor sold Vauvert's Castle and it became back the haven of peace it was in times past. Through the centuries, we can hear now "les diables verts", "diable au vert", for finally find back the "Diablo-Vert".

As the expression, the house who lodges the "Auberge au Diablo-Vert" was a peaceful place formerly. However, since its building in 1837, the house has been praticly neglected. Without major restoration, the creakings and crackings were present. The curtains was beating by the wind.

In 1980, Luc Gagnon and Manon Brochu purchased the house. The restoration took about nine years and the house find back its peaceful and charming nature.

Some years later, the owners opened there a location for peace, rest, privacy, and friendship who called it the "Auberge au Diablo-Vert". There, you'll find an exquisite table, but especially hosts of a unusuality conviviality. Until now, you probably didn't know where to go when somebody was sending you to "diable vauvert".

Now, the question is solved and you'll certainly want to be sent back.
