Here are their favorite picks for the month.
River Cruises • Old Port
The St. Lawrence River is an integral part of the Quebec landscape, and AML Cruises are without a doubt THE best way, in my opinion, to discover all its riches while enjoying a unique and majestic view of Quebec City and its shores.
Boarding the Louis Jolliet and letting the St. Lawrence carry you away is an experience like no other. Breathtaking panoramas, fresh river air, it’s hard to find a better way to welcome the warm season with these nautical outings, which resume service as of May 9.
And for those who want to take the experience even further, two options are available. The 3 or 5-course dinner cruise offers a complete 3.5-hour evening with a meal, live music, and access to the terraces.
Karting • Château-Richer
Looking for thrills? Strap on your helmet and head to Château-Richer for a karting session at KCR Karting, just 10 minutes from the hotel! On a 1.4 km outdoor track, the karts reach speeds of over 80 km/h — enough to get even the boldest hearts racing.
The complex, open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., welcomes both adults and young drivers as young as 7, making it an ideal outing for families or groups of friends. And to wrap up the day in style, nothing beats debriefing the race over a drink — the bistro-bar with terrace is right there for just that.
Musée de la Civilisation : NIN Exhibition
For a completely different kind of experience, I invite you to the Musée de la Civilisation to take in the NIN exhibition, a sensitive and poetic journey that brings together stories, works of art, and interactive experiences to introduce you to Anishinaabe cultures.
Designed and produced by the cultural organization MINWASHIN as part of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages, NIN harnesses the creative forces of the Anishinaabe nation and its allies to celebrate the beauty and vitality of Anishinaabemowin, their language. This is an exhibition to be savoured slowly. It is without a doubt one of my favourite cultural discoveries.
