Our cities and towns all have something unique to offer you. Whether it’s a place, a product, a landscape, an attraction or an event, you’ll always have at least five good reasons for visiting them! Here's Martinville.

By Carolyne Parent

The mill that Daniel Martin built by the Rivière aux Saumons around 1838 is gone, but as far as his town is concerned, it’s doing quite well for itself, thank you very much. Located halfway between Sherbrooke and Coaticook, this agricultural municipality showcases a quality of life that even birds recognize! In fact, more than fifty feathered species, among these shorebirds, find shelter by the river and the reservoir. Some of them live here year-round, while others are only in transit during migration periods.

Good to Know: In September and October, we can admire impressive V formations of Canada geese and snow geese flying high above in the sky. However, the real show unfolds around the area’s waterways!

Savour cheeses at Fromagerie Les Broussailles

Here is where you’ll find delicious organic cheeses, and we’re truly grateful to you, dear mountain goats, for your delicious milk that produces the farm’s Tomme des Broussailles! At the cheese factory, you’ll also find organic sheep cheeses that the owners develop with milk provide by a local sheep farmer.

Stroll at the Parc du Vieux-Moulin

At the junction of Martinville’s Main Street and route 251, you’ll discover this lovely picnic area where you’ll be able to savour the cheese you’ve just bought! As a bonus, you’ll enjoy the view that overlooks the reservoir. You’ll also find yourself in the company of a commemorative effigy of Oscar Lessard , the last owner and manager of the saw mill, thanks to which the municipality prospered. If you’re looking for a sports activity, you can get in your kayaks to explore the reservoir basin.

Take a Walk on the Linear Trail

Right in front of the park, this 700-metre path, lined with willows, will take along the Rivière aux Saumons, Pstt! It’s a superb place for a little daydreaming as you relax in the shade of a tree.

Visit the Bergerie en herbe

This lamb breeding farm’s mission is to have visitors learn more about where their food comes from. This summer three activities have been planned during which you can learn a thing or two about a reasoned approach to agriculture and animal care. Your little ones will also be able to observe and pet sheep, rabbits, llamas and still more farm animals, and then, they can also have a bit of fun completing the nature obstacle course.

Make your Taste Buds Happy at Le Cinquième Élément

From here, you’ll extend your excursion by driving about twelve kilometres further to savour the comforting cuisine of this delicious table, located not even ten kilometres from Martinville. What should you order? The shipwreck, their most popular dish! It has scallops and shrimp accompanied by a risotto made with Chemin Hatley cheese from La Station cheese factory and an exotic coriander pesto salsa. Yummy!
