The Townships

What makes the Townships different? It all boils down to variations on a single theme: pleasure. The delight you’ll feel when you come across the most picture-perfect town or village, and among them our exquisite Coeurs villageois. The happiness brought on by a humble yet oh-so-delicious snack in a Café de village. The joy of discovering local flavours through the creativity and savoir-faire of Créateurs de saveurs restaurants and food producers.

You’ll also find pleasure in discovering the region’s most time-honoured attractions, as well as the new additions and myriad of year-round festivals. In spas, vineyards, parks and world-class accommodations. In experiences, too, like seeing the sky through virtual reality, blending a personalized fragrance or learning to sabre bubbly.

In the Eastern Townships, opportunities to create memorable moments abound. Come find out for yourself—we can’t wait to see you.

Best of the Townships

L'ASTROLab at Parc National du Mont-Mégantic

Nestled in the first International Dark Sky Reserve, the ASTROLab, with Canada's best-performing observatory, provides an incomparable perspective of the sky above. What's more, the entire family will leave with newly acquired knowledge gleaned from the activities, talks, and workshops presented throughout the year.

Coeurs villageois

“Cœurs villageois” is made up of 12 emblematic small towns and cities highlighting all the beautiful features of our region. They attract by their personality, their exclusive assets and their tempting epicurean offer. The “Coeur villageois” designation is worn by the people who live here and who have worked hard to meet the criteria required to receive this recognition. People who, with the same motivation—their love for their town—, have by different means, enhanced the exceptional qualities that characterize each one of them.
