Where the welcome is as warm as the cheese. I like to stop here to meet the goats, discover how they are made and enjoy fresh produce in a warm, authentic atmosphere, a real gourmet break in nature.

In the heart of a grandiose natural setting, Parc du Massif du Sud invites you to escape. Several times a year, I enjoy criss-crossing its 71 kilometers of trails between forests and peaks, including 917-meter-high Mont Saint-Magloire. Between hiking, mountain biking, family outings and nights in the forest, every moment I spend here becomes a breath of fresh air.

Sylvie and Jacob passionately raise Highland beef and Berkshire pigs in a rural setting. Every time I visit, after a gourmet meal featuring their meats and local produce, I leave with a bag full of products processed directly on the farm. A warm welcome and a unique setting await you on every visit.

The Cycloroute de Bellechasse is a real gem for cycling enthusiasts in search of tranquillity. With its low gradient and entirely asphalted surface, I like to ride part of it, or even, when the weather permits, the 74-km route through eight picturesque villages, offering a succession of varied landscapes and enchanting settings.

With 8,300 cherry plants, Nancy and Denis welcome you to their peaceful haven to discover this original berry with its unique taste. After picking, follow my lead and enjoy SAISIE 38 gin and delicious camerise wines.

Come and discover a little corner of Italy in the heart of Bellechasse. Friendly, country-style restaurant with heated riverside terrace. Home-cooked cuisine using fresh, tasty ingredients from local producers. For me, it’s the perfect place for 5 à 7s and dinners with friends on long summer evenings.

Immerse yourself in the fascinating story of pioneering and daring women. The“Superheroines” exhibition highlights their resilience and impact on our society. After my visit, I always extend the experience at the Perpétuel Café, a convivial place where you can enjoy local, home-made products.

If I’ve spent the day outdoors at Parc du Massif du Sud, there’s a good chance I’ll end up at the Pub de la Contrée next door. What better way to end the day than with a tasty local board featuring the authentic flavours of products from local farms: sausages, smoked meats, mature cheeses, organic vegetables… all accompanied by a good craft beer from Microbrasserie de Bellechasse.

Come and discover La Contrebande’s restaurant and tasting room, where you can enjoy their classic beers as well as limited editions. In season, enjoy the Beergarden-style terrace overlooking the Bellechasse countryside. This makes it my ideal spot for a break on a roadtrip or for cyclists on the Cycloroute de Bellechasse.

Ziptopia is a true nature playground, perfect for adventurers of all ages. Cross suspension bridges, use ropes and zip lines to take on aerial challenges, while admiring breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. For me, it’s the perfect place to rediscover my childhood heart!
