Take your pick: adrenaline packed or slow and contemplative?
When it comes to strolling across the city, Sherbrooke invites its first-time visitors to take a tour that’s both original and fun: The Sherbrooke Murals Circuit. Look up to discover 18 giant works of art lining the streets of the city centre. These giant open-air frescoes will take you on a very interesting exploration of the city’s history.
At lunchtime, let yourself be amazed by Sherbrooke’s most unusual restaurant, OMG Resto. This church converted into a restaurant will immerse you in an environment blending a religious and industrial decor. If the original setting is well worth the trip, it goes without saying that the menu is equally impressive! Try the shrimp tacos or one of their burgers—you won’t be disappointed.
In the afternoon, you’ll have plenty of options for visiting one of Sherbrooke’s many museums. If your morning stroll has inspired you to continue your discovery of the arts, then the Musée des beaux-arts de Sherbrooke is just the place for you! If, on the other hand, your curiosity for history that has been stimulated: the Musée d’histoire de Sherbrooke is there to satisfy your thirst for knowledge. And for those with a passion for the natural sciences, the Musée de la nature et des sciences de Sherbrooke is sure to please.
Because a satiated appetite goes hand in hand with a well-filled mind, end your day with a gourmet supper at Restaurant Auguste. In the restaurant’s bright and inviting dining room, you can catch a glimpse of the cooks at work across the room in the open kitchen. A signature dish on the menu, the inverted poutine is a must when you order!
Cozy, warm and intimate ... these are the rooms offered by the B&B Ile de Garde and the Auberge Marquis de Montcalm. For your overnight stay in Sherbrooke, you couldn’t wish for better! Here, the hosts love to share their passion for the region with their guests, and are always ready to offer advice and the best addresses. For one night, you’ll be swept away by the peaceful atmosphere and old-world charm as you settle in and relax with a good book.
