Marvel at a 47-metre illuminated tree

When you walk through the doors ofillumiyou step into an indescribable universe. Fairy-like. Every time, the illuminated tableaux and the absolutely gigantic tree of lights (47 metres high, after all) fill us with wonder, dazzle and enchantment. The thrills are guaranteed, and you'll see that the world's biggest multimedia sound and light event will electrify you. Pardon the pun.

Walking in warmth and joy

What do you do when it's cold, the ground is covered with a carpet that looks more like slush than snow, and you feel like walking? We head for the CF Carrefour Lavalnot only for its vast selection of boutiques, but also for its holiday decorations! Really, there's no skimping on lights and grandeur. A simple stroll through this exceptional mall, coffee in hand, and our daily walk is a joyous one.

Feel like you're in a Christmas village

CentropolisCentropolis, easily accessible by car or public transit, is a popular destination for its restaurants, stores and attractions, but we often forget that it's like a small village where it's pleasant to stroll day and night. And during the holiday season, after the sun goes down, the place dons its luminous garments and shines sublimely. Walking through it, you'd think you were one of those figurines inside the snow globes. A great way to discover Laval in a different way.

Spend a princely moment

Do you love castles, Bridgerton and the glitz of chic parties? The lobby of the Sheraton Laval Hotelespecially during the holiday season, is the perfect place to immerse yourself in a princely setting, complete with illuminated trees and seasonal decorations. The kids will be dreaming about it long after they're gone (and you probably will too). Why not take the opportunity to take out the camera and grab a bite to eat in the Piazza?

Watching the lights grow in the greenhouses

In summer, greenhouses are places teeming with greenery where it's good to stroll for no other reason than for pleasure. In winter, you can also go there, but to admire their superb Christmas decorations or to hope to find THE perfect decoration for your home. Either way, the Locas Nursery and Sylvain Cléroux Greenhouses are two must-sees.

Pst! And when it comes to "Laval's most decorated places", we draw your attention to the Christmas Market the Nature Centre's Christmas Marketa magnificent, sparkling, ab.so.lu.ment attraction.
