Where to find the best Christmas gifts in Lanaudière this year

November 16, 2025

Every holiday season, the same question comes up: what gifts should I choose? Here are our gift ideas for your significant other, the kids, the athlete, the foodie, or the art lover.

FOR YOUR LOVED ONE

The most precious gift you can give your loved one? Time! Better yet, treat yourselves to some time together. The gift will then serve a dual purpose, allowing you to spend quality time together and reconnect.

- A relaxing moment in one of our spas

- A gourmet meal or festive brunch in one of our restaurants

- A romantic weekend getaway in one of our wide selection of cottages or experiential accommodations

- A getaway in one of our hotels

- A tour of Lanaudière's cafés for a moment of intimacy over a hot drink

FOR KIDS

Ahhh, kids! It's so easy to buy a toy that will make them happy for a few moments, only to end up in the closet after a few uses. This year, let's make a change by offering a quality day to spend with the family. Bonus for parents: after a day in the fresh air, we bet they'll go to bed earlier than usual!

- A day at Super Glissades Saint-Jean-de-Matha

- A dog sled ride at Kinadapt or Aventures Liguoriennes

- A visit to Maison Louis-Cyr (their virtual reality and escape room will captivate them)

- A day of climbing at Bloc Action or having fun at Laser Action

- A creative afternoon at Rue des Beaux-Arts to bring home a work of art

- A visit to Familizoo to admire the animals
