Each of our cities and towns has something unique to offer. Whether it’s a venue, a product, a landscape, an attraction or an event, you’ll always have at least 5 good reasons to visit... Granby!

By Carolyne Parent

It is known as “the city of parks and fountains”, which makes it an especially attractive place to visit on a sunny summer day. We have but to think of its open-air museum, Artria, combining a cycling route with a sculpture exhibition! Granby reveals all its charming features during the summer months, so now’s the perfect time to make the most of it!

Fall Asleep at the Zoo

Spending a night at the zoo, sounds tempting? During the summer months, you can enjoy an overnight stay in one of the Zoo de Granby’s mini-cabins. Guided by a naturalist interpreter, explore the trails and watch their nocturnal animals awaken. Among the species that are well adapted to living in the darkness you’ll discover tigers, snakes and a number of birds. Of course, a visit during the day is also a must if you wish to observe the zoo’s other residents. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to view elephants, alligators and gorillas basking in the sun. As well, several mascots and presenters will set the pace as you travel across four continents: Asia, Oceania, South Africa and South America.

Fall Head Over Heels for Apples…

… At the Cidrerie Milton! Established here, on their land, since 1927, the Lasnier family has been developing their apple production as well as their know-how in the field. Today, the fourth generation has taken the reins and one thing you can be sure of is that the family passion is alive and well! Taste the finesse of these artisanal ciders, which have won worldwide acclaim. Pause a moment to enjoy the view overlooking the Montérégie hills and savour their daily menu and apple-based snacks (you guessed it!) in their bistro. But before you leave, be sure to drop by the boutique. The sweet smell of apple pie will awaken your senses. It’ll be quite hard to resist!

Cycle Your Way Across a Museum!

Have you ever wondered how to make a visit to the museum more appealing? The Artria Museum has found a very unique way to do so: offer a circuit featuring more than sixty sculptures, all in the open air alongside a bike path! The perfect solution to add a touch of culture to your next bicycle outing. Once you’ve completed the tour, those who would like to continue pedalling will be delighted to learn that they’re currently cycling on the Estriade, a former railway track transformed into a bike path! 21 km long and accessible to all, it’s easy to cover and offers some truly beautiful landscapes.

Offer Yourself a Treat and Encourage Self-Sustainability

The menu of Maison Boire, specializing in ember grilling, is not the only thing that makes this restaurant unique. The goal of achieving self-sufficiency by 2027 puts this restaurant in a class by itself! In fact, these recipients of the 2021 Restaurateur Aliments du Québec au Menu Award grow their own vegetables (their dishes are essentially vegetarian); they collect rainwater to irrigate their plants and use the heat from the grill to keep them warm in winter; they make their own dishware, furniture and laundry soap (using the ashes from their cooking); Plus, they’re even planning to blow their own glassware and forge their own utensils. Now, that’s what being inspired by the past to build a better future is all about; and it’s worth encouraging!

Observe All the Birds

It’s quite a story when you consider that it all started with a handful of young local enthusiasts who called themselves the “Club des bibittologues”. Today, the Centre d’Interprétation de la Nature du Lac Boivin is recognized throughout the country as a bird conservation zone. A true Garden of Eden for insects and birds that have found shelter here. Take a stroll along its paths and enjoy trying to spot the animals hiding in the surrounding nature. For the more perceptive visitors, you’ll marvel at the huge diversity of plants to be found within these few hundred metres.
