Saint-Georges de Beauce
Thanks to Beauce Art, Saint-Georges has turned itself into a genuine open-air museum of public art. More than 100 sculptures created by artists from around the world are spread through the city along more than 5 km of routes. Three circuits — L'Immersif, Le Cosmopolite and Le Longiligne — let you discover the works as you follow the footbridges, the parks and the banks of the Chaudière River. This cultural initiative makes the city a living space where art, nature and the daily life of its citizens meet in harmony. A one-of-a-kind experience, free and open all year round.
Fromagerie Pépites d'Or
A genuine point of pride in the Beauce, the Fromagerie Pépites d'Or turns out fresh cheeses every day, including its famous cheese curds in several flavours such as BBQ or maple. The business owes its name to an actual gold nugget found in 1914 on the site where the cheese dairy stands today — a nod to its unusual history. On site you'll find a shop with rustic charm, local products, and the famous poutine made with the day's cheese.
Parc des Sept-Chutes
A stone's throw from downtown, the Parc des Sept-Chutes is a must for anyone who wants to get away into nature. The site holds a 70-hectare urban forest, nearly 9 km of trails and impressive viewpoints over the falls of the Pozer River. There's also a suspended footbridge 25 metres up, playgrounds, a public pool, a bike path and even more than 900 steps to climb for anyone who likes a challenge. It's the perfect place to walk, picnic, watch for wildlife or simply enjoy a quiet moment.
Île Pozer
Right in the middle of Saint-Georges, Île Pozer is a natural island reached by two footbridges. Its walking path runs along a 2.6 km urban lake, created by an inflatable dam that is unique in Quebec. The island stands out for its flower plantings, its Musée des Lilas (bringing together nearly 750 cultivars), its playgrounds, its dock for water activities and its monumental sculptures from Beauce Art. A peaceful, photogenic place to walk, it offers an open-air experience for the senses and for the mind.
