A majestic site, an equally majestic monastery blending in perfectly with the surrounding landscape, a shop full of excellent products to tempt your taste buds, including the abbey’s famous cheeses and ciders, and the opportunity to take a guided tour to learn more about the daily life of the monks and admire the architectural ensemble... now that’s what we call a complete activity! It’s no wonder the Abbey of Saint-Benoît-du-Lac attracts so many curious visitors! Hurry, reserve you visit!

Agritourism has become quite the trend, as we all know, but what’s even more popular are the businesses that really pamper their visitors. Well, that’s exactly what you’ll get at Domaine Ives Hill. Here, the specialty is growing and processing blackcurrants. Its unique, award-winning spirits, including the famous crème de cassis (yummy!), are the pride of the Townships. The estate offers three options for group visits, all of which are free of charge. And, in all three options, the owner himself will lead the tour. Quite simply, a royal welcome!

Savon des Cantons offers you the chance to visit Québec’s largest artisan soap factory, indulge in its divine fragrances and learn more about the production of hyperoxygenated Castille soap (exclusive to the Townships!), as well as a boutique brimming with soaps, cosmetics and home products. Did you know that the company also grows sea buckthorn? As with its cosmetics, it uses no chemicals, fertilizers or pesticides in its crops. The pretty little orange fruit is transformed into delicious jellies, BBQ sauces, mustards and spices. A visit that will delight all your senses!
