Suggestions demonstrate the variety of activities available for all tastes and preferences.

When your guests ask what to do during their stay in Montreal, it’s helpful to have a few varied and interesting suggestions ready. Clin d'œil recently published a list of 25 must-do activities that go beyond the usual tourist spots.

For nature and food enthusiasts, a trip to Sutton, less than 2 hours from Montreal, is an excellent choice. Sutton offers a unique charm with its small artisan shops and fresh products, as well as cafes and restaurants like La Gourmandine and Café Yamabiko. Visitors can also enjoy outdoor activities such as canoeing on the Missisquoi River or hiking in the Sutton Natural Environment Park.

If your guests prefer a closer-to-nature experience, Austin, located 1.5 hours from Montreal, is ideal. The area is perfect for hiking on Mont-Orford or stand-up paddleboarding on Lake Memphrémagog. In the evening, a meal at Parcelles, which serves dishes made primarily from local ingredients, is a great option.

North Hatley, known for its charming architectural heritage and the scenery around Lake Massawippi, offers a relaxing experience. It’s perfect for leisurely walks by the water, antiquing, and a stop at Massawippi Mercantile. For a special dinner, the restaurants at Manoir Hovey are highly recommended.

Coaticook, famous for its ice cream, is also an excellent choice. In addition to sampling the delicious ice cream on-site, visitors can enjoy the Microbrasserie Coaticook and explore the Gorge de Coaticook Park, with its impressive suspension bridge, the longest in North America.

These suggestions demonstrate the variety of activities available for all tastes and preferences. To view the complete list of suggestions, visit Clin d'œil.
