Louis-Paul "Louis" Octeau-Piché and Marie Octeau are a team of Mother & Son on The Amazing Race Canada 11.

Although with a bottom 3 start, Louis & Marie found 2 Express Passes during Leg 2, and they were able to get into a Top 5 in that leg. During Leg 3, they gave Jesse & Jonathon their second Express Pass as the latter promised they would flush out for the U-Turn. However, after struggling at the serenading challenge and lost the last Face-Off, they decided to use the Express Pass at the Eyeglass Frame Puzzle Challenge in order to catch up. They again still struggled at the Detour but was able to finish faster than Osas & Esosa and narrowly escaping elimination. They were able to climb back to 4th in Leg 4 after Louis finished the Memory Roadblock in one attempt. During Leg 5, they decided to help Lacey & Celia during the Mr. PG challenge, which became their undoing as both teams were on the bottom and Lacey was able to finish the water Aerobics Roadblock in just 2 attempts, while Marie struggled on the Roadblock, allowing the sisters to overtake them, leading to their elimination in 8th Place.
