Our History
-
2001
The Treetop Trekking story began in 2001, when Jean-Marie Bévillard arrived in Quebec from France. Shortly after his arrival, he enrolled in an entrepreneurial course taught by Stéphane Vachon in Montreal. During the course, Stéphane asked his students to prepare a business plan for a dream business that they would one day like to own.
Being from Grenoble, France, Jean-Marie immediately decided to make his business plan for a treetop adventure park, similar to one that was very successful back in Grenoble, knowing that nothing like this existed in Canada.
Impressed by the idea, Stéphane decided to partner up with Jean-Marie to make his dream a reality. The rest is history!
