Take an art walk to admire Sherbrooke’s famous murals

What could be better than looking at art while on a stroll! The Sherbrooke mural circuit, adorning the city with the largest series of trompe-l’oeil murals in North America, not only showcases the region’s talent and creativity, but also its history.

These 18 works of art will take you through time on a self-guided tour, equipped with a flyer you can download or pick up at the Tourist and Citizen Information Office, or if you prefer a more interactive experience, take the Mural Quiz.

It’s an open-air museum to explore on your own, with friends or family. Lace up your walking shoes and get ready to be wowed.

Lac-des-Nations Boardwalk: nature in the heart of the city

Want to enjoy the great outdoors without leaving the city? Head to the Lac-des-Nations Boardwalk! Right in the city centre, this multipurpose urban path invites you to walk, relax and contemplate nature. The 3.5-kilometre loop will give you views of the lake from every angle. The path also takes you to one of the largest parks in the city and there are relaxation and rest areas as well as a beautiful cascading fountain.

After exploring on foot, bike or inline skates, you are bound to be hungry. The perfect excuse to visit the Marché de la Gare de Sherbrooke market (the farmer's market is open every Saturday during the summer) to taste or buy delicious local products!
