They met through their work at the Frontier Resourcery. During a sabbatical year, the couple living in Fitch Bay went to drink coffee in a business for sale. The sign had just been put up and Karine, who loved going to coffee shops during her student years, thought it was a shame that the business in the heart of Stanstead would disappear. The couple saw a great opportunity to open a business in the heart of Stanstead that would unite the small town community. Already having a foot in the lodging business, as they were already renting out their home in Fitch Bay, Karine and Jean embarked on a new project and it was in 2018 that Auberge Le Sunshine was born.

Both concerned about the importance of a place that knows how to bring the Stanstead community together, Karine and Jean embarked on this beautiful adventure. Since Stanstead is a small town, they wanted to create a link between the different businesses and be close to their community. The importance of acceptance of differences and a warm welcome makes L'Auberge Le Sunshine a place where everyone can feel at home, that was Karine and Jean's goal.
