Passionate About Gourmet Getaways and Family Outings!
 
I consider myself lucky to enjoy a job which combines two of my most marked interests: writing and Quebec! And it is always a great pleasure to share my discoveries with you, dear reader. For more than fifteen years, I have been exploring the province’s routes; the beauty of its landscapes and the welcome of its inhabitants still impress me. Mother of a blended family with three children, I am obviously always on the lookout for activities that will please my brood. However, I also enjoy romantic getaways alone with my sweetheart and urban stays or outdoor activities that suit my less daring side. I look forward to sharing my favourite finds with you, dear reader, and my passion for Quebec.

My favourites

Sports and Adventure
My dogsledding excursion in the Lanaudière region.

Relaxation
Definitely, Spa Eastman! And as far as Nordic spas go, Nordik – Spa Nature in Outaouais.
Getaway
Auberge du Faubourg in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, for its small cottages on the river’s shore.

Family
Quite frankly, there are too many choices! Let’s say, the Granby Zoo, La Ronde amusement park and the Children’s Museum at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Gatineau.

Gastronomy
For great gastronomy: La Quintesscence in Tremblant and Le Baccara at Casino du Lac-Leamy. For a fine, flavourful meal: the restaurant at Auberge de la Montagne Coupée.

History and Culture
The Musée de la civilisation in Québec and the outstanding Montréal Museum of Fine Arts. For history: the Site de la Nouvelle-France in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean.

Nature
The sublime Îles-de-la-Madeleine… a complete change of scenery!

For Fun
Valcartier Vacation Village (in winter and summer)!

Romance
Auberge Le Baluchon in Mauricie… good food, cosy rooms, a pleasant health centre and enchanting settings!

Urban
Quartier des spectacles: a crossroads for great events in Montréal.
Vacation
Auberge Matawinie in Lanaudière, and Château Mont-Sainte-Anne, two perfect family destinations!
