The days are becoming cooler, and all you want to do is to cozy up in your living room. But what if we you could be just as comfortable in other fabulous locations? That would be great, right? This autumn, we are suggesting that you try cocooning in the Eastern Townships!
By definition, cocooning means to relax in a comfortable setting, to take some time for yourself, to rest, to escape your daily routine. Wellness centres are surely the perfect destinations for this purpose, and much more! Here, the focus is only on “Me Time.” Spa life, massages, hydrotherapy baths, saunas, beauty and body treatments. . . Paradise is at hand!
Choose your next relaxation destination right here.
Cuddle up in one the region’s B&Bs and take a well-deserved break nestled inside their natural settings. You can enjoy the comfortable accommodations these lodgings offer as well as their on-site or nearby spas. Here, doing simply nothing and relaxing is truly the easiest thing to do!
Indulge yourself by tasting some of the Eastern Townships’ unique sweet treats. Whether its l’Atelier Caramel, where they make finger-licking, rich caramel candy, or the Musée du Chocolat, in Bromont, or yet again, the Lambton Bakery, where they make succulent pastries, you’ll find all kinds of comforting treats. Tempting, don’t you think?
Fine aromas are a must for a successful cocooning session. Each scent can bring out lost memories and emotions. Lavender, for example, contains many appeasing properties.
