A tour powered by electromobility
This summer, Papillons Infrastructure Nature presented the very first edition of its zero-emission tour Le Goût du Paysage, produced in collaboration with La Tribu and Michel Deguire. Five free outdoor shows in unique locations across Quebec — designed to offer a musical and culinary experience off the beaten path.
Stage, sound, lighting, kitchen: every evening was powered entirely by the batteries of our electric vehicles, concretely demonstrating the energy potential of electromobility beyond the road.
Five nights, a thousand memories.
A look back in pictures at the stops of Le Goût du Paysage — from the stage to the faces in the crowd, including the landscapes that hosted the tour.
Five stops, five landscapes

Two voices, one territory
Two iconic figures of Quebec chanson carried this first edition.
Émile Proulx-Cloutier
A singer-songwriter, actor and storyteller, Émile Proulx-Cloutier is one of the most distinctive voices of his generation. His music draws on folk, chanson and world music to tell the story of the land.
Dumas
A singer-songwriter, Dumas creates music that is both melancholic and luminous. His timeless universe and deeply sensitive melodies have made him one of the essential figures of Quebec pop.

The same ritual, every night
From 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., every stop on the tour followed the same schedule, blending music and local cuisine.
Welcoming guests who came with their chairs and picnics.
An original corn-based recipe, unique to each region visited, offered free to all attendees.
Thirty minutes with Sunny Shine and Nicolas Gémus to kick off the evening.
Dumas or Émile Proulx-Cloutier — and both on closing night in Saint-Henri.
Ambient music and a gradual departure, at the pace of each site.
Zero emissions, from start to finish
Every evening was powered 100% by the batteries of our electric vehicles.
Energy that goes well beyond the road
Le Goût du Paysage is not an isolated case: it is the most vivid demonstration of a technology that Papillons is already deploying in the field, well beyond vehicle charging.
During the tour, it was the batteries of our electric vehicles that powered the stage, sound, lighting and kitchen every evening. But our fleet also includes mobile batteries — units that can be deployed across the territory to provide a clean, reliable and silent source of energy, with no need for a connection to the electrical grid.

A concert
Power an entire stage — sound, lighting, kitchen — at a site with no access to the electrical grid, as at Le Goût du Paysage.
A construction site
Replace diesel generators on a construction site with a clean, silent energy source that can be deployed directly on location.
Off-grid use
Provide reliable, rapidly deployable electrical power, designed to adapt to any off-grid scenario. Here, the only limit to what it can be used for is our users' imagination.
Three very different uses, one conviction: electromobility can replace polluting energy sources wherever they are needed — not just on the road.
