What are your plans for March break? I will be spending some quality time with my family, in the Outaouais. No lack of activities here! We will go dogsledding at Nordik Adventures, snowshoe at the Domaine de l’Ange Gardien, and round it up with some horseback riding at Camp Equimax. Be sure to visit the Outaouais and discover various exceptional attractions!

A new twist on brunch!

Grown-ups too deserve a break! In the Outaouais Region, a number of restaurants suggest new ways to have brunch!

Consider the Restaurant Ferme Rouge Spectacles where you can enjoy a delectable buffet while listening to live music! The Arôme Seafood and Grill, for its part, makes the fun last with access to the pools for maximum relaxation! Finally, the Restaurant Meule et Caquelon lets you take over with its new “raclette brunch”.
