In Laval, 5 shades of light in anticipation of winter

Enjoy a combination of health and brightness

Visit Armand-Frappier Health Museum is by far one of the most interesting places to learn about the many facets of health. Through a wide range of exhibits and laboratory activities, visitors can fill their toolbox with useful information to help them improve their own well-being. And that's not all! The very act of pushing open the museum doors brings a massive dose of brightness. It's impossible not to feel suddenly energized by the museum's large windows, white walls and imposing spiral staircase.

Drink and eat coffee, scones and ... light.

A drink, a coffee, a hot chocolate and the best desserts, alone or in good company, can be just what the body and mind need to feel good. When you enjoy such a moment of comfort in a place with a warm ambience and where natural light makes its way to you, the experience is doubly pleasurable.

In Laval, there are many places that fit this description, but for your convenience, we've selected four that offer unparalleled vitamin D baths:

1. Les Insulaires Microbrasseursa craft brewery inspired by the islands.
2. La Bête à paina restaurant, bakery, patisserie and caterer, feeds the belly and the eye with the beauty of its surroundings. A real treat.
3. La Spesa at the Sheraton LavalA gourmet counter in a modern, sleek and bright space.

Enjoying daylight in a wooded area

To stay in shape and help our bodies secrete the hormones of well-being, all it takes is fifteen minutes of walking a day, or putting your nose to the grindstone. The Orée-des-Bois l'Orée-des-Bois woodland in Laval with its eight hectares of forest, is the perfect place to get active. Not to mention its access to the Mille Îles Rivera must for taking a breather.

Brighten up your day with flowers

Walking among the flowers, breathing in the scent of the earth and the humidity, it's possible even in the depths of November, thanks to the greenhouses. For a real boost, a stroll in daylight in a place like Sylvain Cléroux Greenhousesis perfect. Cultivated in alternation over the months, tropical plants, autumn chrysanthemums, poinsettias and hydrangeas are decked out in their finest colors to dazzle the eye.

Go to an all-inclusive to brighten up your day

The Centre de la Nature is a popular multi-purpose green space in the heart of Laval. Not only can you hike there, but you can also visit a tropical plant greenhouse, enjoy a pond (summer and winter, but not for the same activities) and an observatory. As if that weren't enough, you can also enjoy a coffee or a bite to eat in the chalet-restaurant. In short, it's a kind of Laval all-inclusive for day-trippers in search of light and softness.
