Take your pick: adrenaline packed or slow and contemplative?
Published on Jun 6, 2023
This weekend, there’s something for almost everyone! On offer is a dazzling array of things to see and do – long-distance bike rides, lots of local fare, a morning of pampering at a spa along with other members of your family. The list goes on…..To help you choose, take a look at the following ideas:
Are you the kind of cyclist who doesn’t balk at having to pedal up hills over long distances? If so, you’ll enjoy these seven circuits, which, while they might be challenging, also offer spectacular views. The Traverse des Townships, Doyenne des vignes, Lac Mégantic to Mont Mégantic, the Grande Boucle de la Vallée, Caméléon Mystic, D’un quai à l’autre (from one jetty to the next) and the Boucle du Mont Ham – all of them are picturesque, panoramic routes. It’ll be difficult to decide which of the circuits you should follow!
A must-attend, festive event for foodies, Sherbrooke t’en bouche un coin takes place over this weekend! Tastings, activities, gourmet dinners and vegetarian picnics. Local chefs and food producers will introduce you to the best of the best cuisine, Eastern Townships style!
