Description:
LIMOILOU. Once a private estate, Domaine Maizerets now offers Québecers a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Located along the bike path which connects Vieux Québec with Montmorency Falls, the property has much to recommend it. In the summer, the leafy arboretum is a shady spot to relax and cool off, the lovely gardens and lawns are ideal for strolling, and free concerts and plays supply a bit of additional entertainment. In the winter, the spot is extremely popular for both cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, with numerous groomed trails. The visitor centre is open daily for equipment rental. |

Description:
MONTCALM. Dating back to the mid-17th century, this attractive park, ideal for a late afternoon stroll or even a relaxing lunch break, has served in several different capacities throughout its history. In fact, after the British took over Québec, Lord Elgin had a home built on the site. It was destroyed by fire in the late 1940s, but visitors can still see some of the outbuildings, and the gardens surrounding the former residences continue to be carefully tended, offering an impressive collection of plant species for the amateur horticulturalist to admire. |
