ROADTRIP SUGGESTIONS!

Many beautiful days are still to come! In between Montreal and Quebec City, the Hotel  Montfort Nicolet is the ideal destination for a roadtrip this fall. Trees filled with orange, red and yellow leaves will put you in awe. It is also a great time to hand pick apples, pumpkins and other vegetables! Do not forget that you can make summer last longer with our Nordic spa, our indoor heated pool as well as our spa on our terrace.

Here are some activities to do in the Nicolet-Yamaska region to enjoy fully this beautiful season:

A walk in the forest

What is better than admiring the wonderful colours of Mother Nature during fall by walking in the forest? Many pedestrian trails enable you to wander through nature near the Hotel Monfort. For example, the natural reserve Boise-du-Seminaire enables starts right at the hotel. It will transport you through more than a century of history! Given to the Nicolet vicar in 1770, this part of land was handed over to the Seminary of Nicolet. The different trails were built starting in 1873.  During your walk, you will pass lakes, cross bridges, see statues and even have the chance to see animals!

Apples, apples and more apples!

Few kilometers away from the hotel, the Nicolet Orchard welcomes you starting the third week of August until mid-October so that you can pick your own apples! This very popular activity amongst families and couples will enable you to reconnect with nature and forget your stressful routine. Its beautiful location will charm you right away. Picnic tables are available around a lake so that you can observe ducks and geese. Let yourself be tempted by a getaway in nature! 

A day at the musem

Different interesting museums are located near the Hotel Montfort Nicolet. The Musee des religions du monde offers you to discover the five major religions of the world through their rituals. You will certainly be surprised by some of them! Moreover, the exhibition "AMEN nous la coupe" gets the debate going about whether Hockey is a religion or not. What do you think?

The Abenakis Museum transports you through the First Nations culture. The exhibition "La mémoire d'un people" enables you to live an interactive and immersive digital experience.

At last, the Rodolphe-Duguay house takes you into the universe of two artists. Let yourself be charmed by the house, considered a historical monument!
