Summer Destinations Travel

Terrebonne and Mascouche have nothing to envy the metropolis: vibrant cities of history and culture, these two towns are an urban destination to visit this summer. Located in the south-west of the region, people first travel through these two towns in the MRC des Moulins to get to the north of the region.

Here's an itinerary to discover the urban destination of Terrebonne and Mascouche, which is worth a stopover for a few days.

DAY 1

You can’t visit Terrebonne without stopping by Île-des-Moulins . Located right in the heart of Old Terrebonne, this historic site offers the chance to take walks along the waterfront and explore its heritage buildings. There are also historical reenactments and exhibitions to see, and you can even take an electric boat tour of the lock! Old Terrebonne has plenty of outdoor dining areas where you can enjoy summer to the fullest. The terrace at Bâtiment B is particularly known for its magnificent view of the water, and the one at the restaurant Chez Fabien for its fine dining. The terrace at La Confrérie is also bustling with activity.

You can also take advantage of your visit to check out the lineup for POP ton été , the biggest FREE music festival on Montreal’s North Shore.

Also in Old Terrebonne, historical and heritage tours are available for history buffs looking to learn something new. The Maison Eugène-Labelle also offers exhibitions and guided tours on foot or by rickshaw. The Théâtre du Vieux-Terrebonne always presents an excellent lineup during the summer season, and this summer the play La Florida is on the bill.

After this educational experience, we suggest heading to Mascouche to visit the Moore Garden . This garden is simply splendid. It’s a pleasure to get lost among the flowers and peaceful landscaping. The garden promotes sustainable horticultural practices. Rest areas, observation spots, and picnic areas await you along the Mascouche River. Cultural and artistic activities, such as exhibitions and performances, enliven the garden’s program.

DAY 2

Outdoor enthusiasts will be delighted to discover the wide range of outdoor activities available in Terrebonne and Mascouche. After a day exploring the area’s history, take advantage of your second day here to see it from a different perspective. There are numerous biking trails in the surrounding area. The TransTerrebonne road route passes through Old Terrebonne and connects to the Véloroute des Moulins, which in turn allows you to travel over 150 km, passing several must-see stops in the area along the way. Another urban cycle also lets you ride over 60 km by following the local rivers and streams through the city.

At the Groupe Plein Air Terrebonne , a variety of outdoor activities are offered year-round. In the summer, visitors enjoy renting a boat to explore the Mille-Îles River. On the water, you feel far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city and encounter numerous species of birds and ducks. Fans of disc golf, a sport that’s gaining popularity, will be happy to find nine baskets available for their use. Archery targets and a GPS rally are also offered on-site.

DAY 3

If the weather isn’t ideal for outdoor sports during your visit, rest assured that there are plenty of other options. Bloc Action is an indoor bouldering center. This brand-new activity lets you push your limits or try your hand at this increasingly popular form of climbing. Laser Action , located nearby, invites you to experience adrenaline and thrills through its missions. This real-life adventure game can accommodate up to 36 players who will share in an exciting competition. Fun and entertainment guaranteed!

Is the nice weather back? Play a round of golf at Golf Le Versant , Canada’s largest golf complex. Wrap up this final day at one of the local microbreweries. Enjoy beers brewed on-site at Ruisseau Noir microbrewery or those from Albatros , where the terrace is magnificent!
