Have you taken your Quebec pick this week?

Quebec’s tourism offer inspires me! Whether talking about a temporary exhibition, an outdoor getaway or a must-try activity, I surprise myself by crying “ah” and “wow” and “it’s incredible!” Indeed, the province thrills me! A grown-up in training (are we really grown up when 30!?), I’m always looking for the best Quebec has to offer! And as curious as I am, it’s with a child’s heart that I notice all the little details that make a difference. What do I love? Difficult to make a choice. An adventurer in my free time, you don’t have to ask twice to get me to go hiking, rock climbing or even parachuting. I also enjoy cycling, trips to the museum or a day at the spa watching time go by. In short, I like mixing things up!

I hope my articles will give you wings so you can fly off and explore, taste, celebrate and simply appreciate the beauty and treasures found right here in Quebec. Are you ready to take your pick?

My favourites

Adventure
Arbraska Rigaud’s circuits have a challenge for us. Whether on the zip line, on the swings or the aerial circuits, there’s no room for fear here! From on high, I felt like I could touch the sky. An incredible head spinning sensation!

Family
Zoos! Zoos! Zoos! Whether at Granby Zoo, Zoo de Saint-Félicien or the Ecomuseum, I love seeing little furry creatures. They astonish me each and every time.

Gourmet
Ah, Montréal! You know how to court a girl’s belly! With your gastronomical diversity, it’s possible to tour the world in under a year. Feel like visiting Portugal tonight?

History & Culture
The Pointe-à-Callière Museum. Year after year, I surprise myself by hanging out in this universe.

Nature & Outdoors
A hike at Parc national du Fjord-du-Sagueany, the Chutes sector. The view from the peak is striking. For a guaranteed “wow!”

Spa and Relaxation
When someone mentions spa and relaxation, I only have one thought in mind: treating myself to some quality time at Natur’eau. Located in Lanaudière, far from urban settings, this is my little slice of heaven!

Sports
I love speeding down the slopes at Sutton. Far from being a pro, I like to ski down a few trails and then head to the chalet to drink a cup of fine hot chocolate.
Urban
Hands-down, a Sunday afternoon on Mount Royal for the tam-tams. I love sun bathing while listening to the wild beat of tam-tams!
