Notre-Dame-du-Lac is the destination of the emergency medical transfer after Guillaume D’Anjou collapses, making the town the immediate point of hope in a family crisis that leaves Loïc without either father at home.

Setting and Role in the Emergency

When a doctor arrives, he quickly determines that Guillaume must be transported to the nearest hospital, in Notre-Dame-du-Lac. The passage does not name the hospital or describe the town beyond its role as the closest available medical destination.

Place in the Family Crisis

The transfer separates Loïc from his adoptive father, who is taken away unconscious and may be near death. At the same time, Alcide has flown away into the night. Notre-Dame-du-Lac therefore marks the direction of urgent care, but not a resolution: Guillaume’s fate remains uncertain as Loïc is left without either father beside him.
