About La Maison Ralia
Built on an Intention
Before this place had a name, it was an idea.
Winter solstice, 2023.
Four Montrealers sat on a dusty floor inside the gutted building. Cacao in tiny tea cups, poured from a thermos. Four unique Montrealers. Two men. Two women.
One agenda. Plant an intention.
The word came to all four.
Connection.
Florence Charron, local designer and founder of Indee Design and Warren Von Pannier, local GC and founder of WVP Construction, carried the vision through the build. Ideas woven in French and English, landing in mutual delight. A year later, the doors opened. The intention had become the place.
The name Connections became permanently woven into our story by naming our events space Connections.
We invite you to take a minute on our Connections Bench out front to snap a picture and reflect on a moment during your stay when you truly felt connected to someone, a place or perhaps to yourself. We’d love to hear about it so feel free to share your picture and story with us by tagging @lamaisonralia.
