Activities
Available in the region
Hiking and the outdoors
Nature lovers will be delighted by the many hiking trails accessible in the region. The routes wind through peaceful forests, hills, and sometimes offer magnificent views of the surrounding landscapes.
Depending on the season, a wide variety of flora and fauna can be observed. In spring and summer, the vegetation is lush and the trails are perfect for walking, while in autumn the spectacular colours of the maple trees offer an unforgettable setting.
These hikes can be short and accessible for a leisurely stroll, or longer for those who enjoy a more athletic walk.
Kayaking and water activities
The rivers and lakes of the region are ideal for kayaking. This activity allows you to explore nature in a different way, drifting along the water in a calm and soothing environment.
By paddling gently, it's sometimes possible to spot birds, beavers, or other animals that frequent the riverbanks. Kayaking is an activity accessible to both beginners and more experienced individuals who want to enjoy an outing in nature.
Visit to the abbey and monastery
The region also boasts a rich spiritual and cultural heritage. Just a few kilometers from the cottage, you can visit an abbey and a monastery, places imbued with calm and serenity.
These sites often offer beautiful gardens, chapels, and historic buildings to explore. Several religious communities also offer locally made handcrafted products, such as food, jams, honey, and other local specialties.
These visits offer the opportunity to discover a unique aspect of the region's history and culture.
Pick your own berries
The region is also known for its northern berry crops, highly prized for their unique flavors and health benefits.
During the summer season, several farms open their fields to the public for pick-your-own, a friendly and enjoyable activity to experience with family, as a couple or with friends.
You will be able to pick, among other things:
-
Blueberries, the iconic fruit of Quebec, are sweet and delicious.
-
Haskap berries, small elongated fruits with a unique taste reminiscent of a mix of blueberry and raspberry
Pick-your-own not only allows you to enjoy fresh fruit directly from the field, but also to discover local producers and their expertise.
