La Pocatière
Corn maze (fall)
Get lost… on purpose! The Bas-Saint-Laurent corn maze invites you on a life-sized adventure in the middle of the fields. Between the tall, dense rows, every turn is a surprise and every fork a challenge. Whether you're with family or with friends, the thrill of finding the way out mixes with laughter and wrong turns. A one-of-a-kind experience, feet in the soil and head in the clouds!
Montagne du Collège (winter)
Less known to passing visitors, the Montagne du Collège is nonetheless a real hidden treasure in La Pocatière. Accessible and welcoming, it offers an ideal nature escape for anyone looking to reconnect with the open air without going far from the villages. Its wooded trails and its unvarnished character make it a place of genuine discovery, far from the bustle of daily life.
Fromagerie Mouton Blanc (winter)
The Fromagerie Mouton Blanc is far more than a food stop — it's an invitation to discover the artisanal know-how of the Bas-Saint-Laurent at its finest. Here the cheeses are made with passion and rigour, from the milk of ewes raised on site. Every tasting tells the story of the land, the landscapes and the people who keep this region alive with pride. A must for anyone who explores with their taste buds!
Saint-Pascal
Montagne à Coton (winter)
The Montagne à Coton is the perfect invitation to get off the beaten path in the Bas-Saint-Laurent. Its trails guide you through generous country, where the forest reveals itself at every step with its smell of resin and its filtered light. At the top, the panorama over the surrounding hills and valley takes your breath away — a well-earned reward after the climb.
Kamouraska
La ferme Gijamika (every time we're in the area!!)
The shop right at the farm lets you leave with delicious local products, straight from the producer to your table. It's the perfect chance to reconnect with the cycles of nature, to learn about the dedicated work of the farmers, and to drive off with a trunk full of the authentic flavours of the Bas-Saint-Laurent. Their cuts of lamb are particularly tasty.
Boulangerie Niemand (as often as possible!!)
At the Boulangerie Niemand, the adventure takes on a particular flavour: hot bread straight from the oven, crusty exactly as it should be. This artisanal institution in the beautiful village of Kamouraska draws the curious with its irresistible aromas and its carefully made products. Coming here means giving yourself a delicious pause in the heart of a territory rich in discoveries, and leaving with a basket full of local treasures.
Saint-Pacôme
Belvédère de la Croix (four seasons, but splendid in fall)
Perched up high, the Belvédère de la Croix offers one of the most striking viewpoints in the Bas-Saint-Laurent. Your eye carries as far as it can see, over the river, the mountains and the villages dozing in the valley. It's the kind of place where you stop, breathe deeply, and realize just how breathtakingly beautiful this region is. An essential stop for any adventurer passing through.
