I often took my kids to the museum to spark their interest in science. They loved the permanent mineral gallery and the diverse themes of the temporary exhibits. Did you know you can explore the mines there in virtual reality?

I stop by this bakery whenever I’m in the mood for a little spontaneous treat. The smell of warm bread greets me even before I walk in, and I always leave with one more treat than I planned. Want to meet up there for an impromptu treat?

Whenever I’m in the mood for a beer that tastes like pure joy, I head straight to this craft brewery. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming—perfect for putting the world to rights over a glass of Belgian Carillon Blanche. Plus, with summer just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to enjoy the patio!

I can’t wait to explore this new paddling route on the Bécancour! Since I’m new to river kayaking, these 12.5 km of gentle meanders will be perfect for me at the start of summer. Plus, the town of Irlande is a hidden gem!

Fishing for trout in complete tranquility in an old mine—that’s the most unique experience I’ve ever had! The Boston Mine quarry has been transformed into a lake surrounded by high cliffs. It’s stocked regularly!

I think of East Broughton as a quiet village. But on race nights, it’s a whole different story! The area around the dirt track buzzes with energy and smiles. Don’t miss it every Saturday night, starting in May!

You’ll be pleasantly surprised, just as I was, when you discover this spot for controlled fishing. As I walked along the 1.4-kilometer trail around the lake, I came across some lovely gazebos. It made me want to bring my picnic!

I have enormous respect for farmers like Élyse and Karl. They’re passionate about working the land and good food. I visit the farm stand in May to pick up vegetable plants and seedlings, and later in the season for fresh, high-quality vegetables, as well as ethically raised pork and chicken.

When this restaurant first opened, I thought its name was bold—but also very original! It’s now clear that the gamble paid off, since this steakhouse draws crowds thanks to its delicious menu (I love the rib steak) and its lively atmosphere, featuring talented performers. That really makes all the difference!

I go to this restaurant for its year-round outdoor seating, its outstanding service, its selection of colorful cocktails, its renowned family-friendly menu, and its lunch pizzas!… In short, I have so many great reasons to go there!
