A Labrador Tea treatment

Say goodbye to the stress accumulated throughout the year and give yourself a new lease on life (so to speak). Treat yourself to a Labrador Tea body treatment, a specialty ofAmerispa. The tea's foaming formula gently exfoliates, leaving skin toned and healthier-looking. End the day at the Cupola at the Sheraton Laval and sip a cocktail brilliantly concocted by one of its mixologists.

The luxury of a Vertige room

There's sleeping and sleeping well. In the first case, you can easily do it at home. In the second case, you can do it in your own bed, but it's even more likely to happen in a Vertige room at the Grand Hotel Times de Laval. Opportunity makes the thief! First, the place is sublime and modern. Then, the floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides offer exceptional luminosity. A plus for recharging your batteries.

A weekday brunch

Strangely enough - or not really, considering that we're usually at work at this time of day - we reserve brunch for a day at the weekend. But because you're worth it, why not break the routine and treat yourself to brunch... on a Monday or Wednesday? To ensure success, try the chai tea and candied apple waffle or the dill salmon rillettes bagel at Ricardo Laval.

A forest bath

The sound of snow crunching under our feet. Fresh air entering our lungs. The sound of tree branches. Could there be a more relaxing trio? This winter, Laval's Bois Sainte-Dorothée in Laval is one of the finest options for forest bathing. Located in Sainte-Dorothée (surprise, surprise), this woodland with its six kilometers of trails is home to a large-scale ecosystem where you can observe almost 190 species of birds.

The joys of painting

Art can be a form of therapy, as well as a delight for the eyes. Taking time out to visit a gallery or a museum means taking time out for yourself, and giving yourself the opportunity to broaden your horizons. Until January 7, 2024, the Foyer du théâtre des Muses (Maison des arts de Laval) is hosting the exhibition "Les joies de la peinture" by painter André-Pierre Arnal. This exhibition explores the idea of priming a painting on a transitional surface before applying it to canvas.
