In Montérégie, every outing feels like a new discovery. Everything is close by, yet each destination has its own unique character.

AWŪ, a peaceful urban escape
You don’t have to escape to the wilderness to feel restored. At AWŪ urban sanctuary, the soothing essence of nature can be found right in the city. Enjoy an accessible, modular wellness experience, where the noise and pace of urban life melt away. Designed to nourish the body, mind, and senses, the sanctuary’s bright and welcoming atmosphere invites you to wander freely, explore at your own pace, and reconnect with yourself. With no plan and no expectations, you’re free to slow down and savour the moment. It’s the ideal setting for a sensory retreat!
Ferme Les Petites Écores: a farm-to-table experience
Established in 2009, Ferme Les Petites Écores is a family-run farm specializing in sea buckthorn, honey, and a diverse selection of organic vegetables. Guided tours offer a behind-the-scenes look at the expertise and care that go into every stage of production. Visitors can also enjoy the farm’s bounty firsthand at one of its Tables Champêtres dining experiences, where fresh ingredients are transformed into delicious, authentic dishes, whether at the honey shack or during a gastronomic evening.
Set in the heart of the gardens, the farm’s gastronomic evenings offer a unique culinary experience led by renowned guest chefs. Discover Chef Rémy Couture’s locally inspired menu (July 10 and 11, 2026), Chef Jean-Sébastien Beauvais’s five-course feast (July 24 and 25, 2026), and Chef Jean-François Plante’s comfort food (August 15, 2026).
Chouette à voir!, a close encounter with birds of prey
Families looking for an unforgettable outing should head to Chouette à voir! to check out the newly opened facilities. Among the highlights are a year-round, eco-friendly interpretation centre, a bridge built from recycled parts of the original Champlain Bridge, and immersive walkways that bring visitors closer to nature. Of course, no visit would be complete without the site’s signature birds-of-prey flight demonstration, followed by a stroll along the trails and a visit to the aviaries. A day of discovery awaits visitors of all ages!
