Aloha everyone,

Just wanted to present my new finds concerning the pop-polynesian trend in Québec!

Motel Cardin, in Drummondville, Québec. This place was shut down recently. There is now an hardware store on the site... (777 Boulevard Saint-Joseph, Drummondville, Québec)

I can see two Witco? statues, a rock wall and an outrigger canoe.

Here is a better view of the place:

Now, Motel Lido, in Montréal, Québec (5905 Boulevard Métropolitain Est)

This place looked very cool. The motel is still in operation, but I don't know if they have a polynesian bar. According to style of the new establishement, I think that they decided to change the decor.

Close look:

Here we go with two vintage matchcovers from the Marie-Antoinette chain:

I think that they are pretty rare to find in California ! :wink:

What is strange is that they used the same logo as Le Mon-Tiki in Mont-Laurier, Québec.

A postcard from the rock wall:

Le Mon-Tiki was a really cool place. It was a club attached to a restaurant called Salle à manger Tropicana

Mont-Laurier is located in the Laurentides region of Québec, a place where two other tiki locations of Québec are still in operation.

Le Luau in Sainte-Adèle:

Aloha in Saint-Jérôme:

Bye,
