"Il y avait un jardin qu'on appelait la terre"
said Georges Moustaki.
First social economics-oriented inn in Quebec, l'Autre Jardin is owned by Carrefour Tiers-Monde, an international cooperation society which has worked in the Quebec City area for the last thirty-five years.
L'Autre Jardin is also a concept that emerged in 1996 at Jardin d'Antoine, a nice little hotel on St. Denis Street, in Montreal. Its owners, Mr Antoine Giardina and Ms Francine Gaudreault, were interested by an idea submitted by a Carrefour Tiers-Monde volunteer worker during a stay at their hotel. That idea, developing a three-star inn to guarantee consistent financing to Carrefour Tiers-Monde for its educational activities, did not fall on deaf ears. Through their expertise and judicious advice, the owners of l'Auberge le Jardin d'Antoine helped the growth of “another garden” in Quebec City.
Thanks to this concept, Carrefour Tiers-Monde can carry on its awareness campaigns to a larger audience, thus helping to build a world of peace, justice and friendship between the North and the South hemispheres.
