Spring is finally here! We’re driving around with our hearts full of joy and the windows rolled down. We’re slowly pulling out our summer clothes, starting to drink rosé wine, and making cocktails with fruitier flavors… yes, spring has definitely arrived in Laval, and here are 5 signs that can’t be denied!
At the Laval Nature Centre in Laval (my favorite park!), the great bustards and our close friends the marmots are back. In this vast green space dotted with charming gardens and ponds, you can relax, have your first picnic of the year, get in shape, or take the opportunity to rent a canoe. Don’t miss the spectacular flights of the great bustards taking off from the lake at the end of the day—it’s magnificent!
Nature along the riverbanks and in the woods of Laval is slowly coming to life. The Bois de L’Équerreis the perfect spot for birdwatching (but be prepared, because you’ll need to be quick on your feet to snap a photo) and take a long hike with your family or partner along the Berge aux Quatre-Vents , where you can watch the ducks. Meanwhile, at Rivière-des-Mille-Îles Park, you can spot turtles basking gently on the rocks—it really is quite a sight to behold!
After a harsh winter of woolen socks and boots, it’s finally time for sandals! Treat yourself to a little gift worth the trip—head to the urban spa Amerispa at the Sheraton Laval for a Shellac manicure (a new trend this season that I had the pleasure of trying out!). In less than 45 minutes, we’re back in our shoes—or better yet, our sandals (without ruining our pedicure)—and we’re all set for our first outdoor dining experience!
There’s nothing better than sunbathing to give you a healthy glow and help you relax. With our beautiful, freshly manicured feet, a visit to the Spa Le Finlandais is the ultimate treat. Here, all your senses are stimulated—or rather, soothed (a visit to the multisensory room is highly recommended for total rejuvenation in 15 minutes). And why not take advantage of the milder evenings to stay a little longer? The place is beautiful in the evening, and the healthy meals are delicious!
Are you like me? At the first sign of spring, it’s a mad dash to the first ice cream shop open after months of abstinence. And in Laval, there’s a whole range of ice creams to choose from! As for me, I fell head over heels (or melted) for the Crèmerie Pineault in the Duvernay neighborhood (homemade soft-serve ice cream and exceptional flavor) and La Marquise for its cool retro vibe… flavors that will remind you of Italy—stop by Dolce & Santella for some delicious gelato.
Luckily, we have the whole summer to try them all out!
Happy Spring!
