Treat yourself to a fall getaway, your way! How about heading to the Memphrémagog region in the Eastern Townships, where a tranquil lake shares the scenery with majestic mountain peaks. This idyllic destination invites you to discover the flamboyant colours, local flavours and unique charms. PAL+ | Touristic Experiences pride themselves on creating authentic experiences and suggest a host of activities, hotels and culinary experiences to enjoy in the region.

Lakeside: a gourmet cruise and urban feel

Until mid-October, treat yourself to an adventure on the water with Escapades Memphrémagog for an extraordinary cruise featuring spacious decks, a unique interior design, second-to-none comfort and live music. On board, enjoy the superb views of fall foliage at brunch or happy hour. If you’d like to watch the sunset, set sail in the evening for a gourmet three-course dinner that starts with a welcome cocktail. And now you can enhance your cruise using the brand new mobile app that highlights points of interest around the lake!

Once your cruise is done, it’s just a short walk to the Verso Hotel on the shores of Lake Memphrémagog. Its mid-century modern decor and urban feel create a fascinating contrast with the natural tranquillity of the surroundings. To enhance the experience and continue your journey, the hotel’s Kóz Bistro features Mediterranean-inspired cuisine in a chic ambience halfway between South Beach and Manhattan.

Mountainside: tempting cuisine and a memorable stay

A favourite spot for cyclists, the Burger Pub is a must-visit and features a relaxed atmosphere, vintage style and delicious classic or reimagined dishes. If you’re in the mood for refined European-style cuisine, the Bistro 4 Saisons will delight both your eyes and taste buds! Even on cooler days, the heated terraces of these two restaurants make it comfortable to enjoy a meal outside and admire the magnificent colours of Mount Orford.

Once you’ve had a satisfying meal, it’s time to rest so you can be ready for your next day! Luckily, both the pub and bistro are located right within Espace 4 Saisons, an award-winning hotel resort at the foot of the mountain. Whether you’re looking for a spacious room, a trendy loft or a romantic suite, you’ll be spoiled for choice among the 82 accommodation units that allow you to create a getaway that’s just right for you. In addition to a host of nearby activities, the site boasts a heated indoor/outdoor pool, a beauty spa and a Jacuzzi, an entertainment centre and a gym.

And if you fancy a trip to Sherbrooke, just 30 minutes from all these establishments, take the time to stop off at OMG Resto, which offers a gourmet experience in the unique setting of a repurposed church. It's time to discover!
