Summer is finally here (yay!) and if you haven’t planned your vacation yet, don’t worry. Here are 9 original activities to do in Quebec to discover the province from a new angle. And no, we’re not going to talk about the classics you already know (that’s our promise!).
Sleep in Unusual Places
What would you say if we told you there are more exciting options than the classic family cottage where you still end up in the same bunk bed you had at age ten? To shake things up and see Quebec like never before, think Coaticook’s Air Drop, cliffside domes in Mauricie, or rustic yurts from the Sépaq network. Fresh air, breathtaking views, and photos that’ll make your friends jealous.
Attend an Out-of-the-Ordinary Festival
When we think of summer festivals in Quebec, it’s always the same big names. But why not step off the beaten path? The Mont-Mégantic Popular Astronomy Festival lets you observe celestial bodies with the most powerful telescope in Canada. If astronomy isn’t your thing, head to the Médiévales de Lanaudière. If the Renaissance fair trend has made its way to your algorithm, you’ll feel right at home at this festival celebrating the medieval era with reenactments, storytelling, and performances. And if you’re a wine lover, don’t miss the Fête des vendanges at the end of summer. Along with wine, you’ll find spirits, beers, cheeses, and other local delights to discover.
Eat (Truly) Differently
Think you’ve seen it all when it comes to restaurants? We challenge you with our picks! Try a meal in total darkness at Ô 6e sens in Quebec City. No selfies here, but a 100% unforgettable experience. For music lovers, La Maison du Jazz in Laval offers a roaring twenties vibe where you can enjoy a great meal to the sound of saxophones. And if you’re all about vibes and flavor, stop by Blossom in Montreal to enjoy delicious neo-Japanese cuisine under a stunning cherry blossom tree.
In Conclusion
Quebec is full of unique experiences far from the traditional tourist trail. So go ahead—step outside your routine and fill your summer with unforgettable memories!
