You, the nature lover who likes to play outside with friends, and has chosen to visit Shawinigan, I tell you: GOOD PICK! Allow me to be your guide and make some suggestions to make your stay memorable.

MY PERSONAL FAVORITES

For an outdoor stay with friends

Several times a year, I communicate with my friends and we organize a weekend together. Winter is a perfect time to enjoy the outdoors and all the good things Shawi has to offer. Are you ready? Let me guide you!

AND THE DREAM STAY STARTS HERE…

D1

Manoir du Rocher

Charming B&B

If you are looking for an accommodation in Shawi, I suggest Manoir du Rocher. It’s a real crush for me! Whenever I have friends or family visiting, I refer them to this establishment which has an out of the ordinary feel. It’s good to stay there because the rooms are well appointed, the beds are comfortable, the access to common areas and facilities including the kitchen are all the more perks for a comfortable stay!

Les Biscuits qui dansent

Foodies paradise

In the morning, head to the bakery ‘Les Biscuits qui dansent’ in the Grand-Mère sector. Here are the 4 favorites in my family: the almond croissant for Roxanne, the bacon and cheese bread for Zack, the chocolate-hazelnut brioche for Jack and the butter croissant for me! Mireille, the owner, is just too nice!

Club Le Rocher

Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing

Then it’s time for an outdoor activity at the Club de ski de fond et raquettes Le Rocher! Based directly at the Golf Club in the Grand-Mère sector, it offers the possibility of practicing cross-country skiing (15km of trails) or snowshoeing (20km of trails). It’s a great club and the trails are always well maintained! The volunteers are amazing.

Location Maximum Aventure

Snowmobile sensations

3 times a winter, my partner and I, as well as other couples of friends, rent a snowmobile from Location Maximum Aventure. Then, we have a nice weekend enjoying the trails of our superb region on snowmobile. The machines are always in top condition and the service is impeccable! It’s worth trying!

Café Le Bucolique

Charm of yesteryear

Impossible to end the weekend without mentioning Le Bucolique! In winter, it’s my favorite place to have a coffee or lunch. Lucie is wonderful and all her desserts are homemade. It’s the perfect place when it’s cold, it’s snowing, and you want to have a good chat with your friends!
