A must Domaine Joly-De Lotbinière

This unique garden-park is home to over 2,800 varieties of plants, a century-old forest, lush gardens, a period manor house… and even access to the river. Here, every visitor is treated like a guest of the family. Above all, it’s a meeting place where we take the time to savor the moment.

 A program as refined as it is daring

Among the rich program, don’t miss the Pik-nik symphonique, every Friday from July 18 to August 22: intimate concerts in the heart of the gardens. Bring your own picnic or make up your own meal (and bottle of wine) on the spot at Café Noyer – the Domaine takes care of the ambience.

Picnic in the shade of century-old trees

On a fine summer’s morning, childhood friends gather at Domaine Joly-De Lotbinière for a picnic under the canopy of century-old trees. Why not compose your own country-style feast at Café Noyer with their selection of cheeses, charcuterie, freshly baked breads and other delights.
