In Laval, even when the the weather is bad, there are plenty of good reasonsto discover its hidden treasures ! Whether the sky is azure blue or stormy gray, we offer a host of activities to suit whatever Mother Nature has in store. Want to explore, relax, or indulge? Here are four of our favorite spots where every outing becomes a unique experience, whether the sun is shining or clouds are rolling in.
When the weather is nice, the Nature Center is the perfect place to stretch your legs and reconnect with nature. Take a walk or a bike ride along its many enchanting trails. Have a picnic under a tree and enjoy a peaceful moment surrounded by greenery. A Laval classic that invites you to slow down and savor the moment.
But now the clouds are rolling in. No way are we staying cooped up! The indoor greenhouses transport you to a true botanical haven, where exotic plants, colorful flowers, and a tropical atmosphere make you forget the gray skies. And for the little ones (or the big kids), theweather-protected mini-farm offers a heartwarming experience with its adorable residents.
On a sunny day, the Maison des Arts also comes alive outdoors. Its terrace and green spaces are perfect for relaxing: with a coffee in hand, let yourself be captivated by the outdoor artworks and installations that bring the site to life during summer art events.
What if it rains? No worries. The theater welcomes you for plays, concerts, and breathtaking performances. In the gallery, contemporary exhibitions captivate the imagination and offer a moment of respite. Here, art becomes a refuge and helps you forget about the changing weather. Art has the power to transport you to another world!
On a beautiful day, we headed to the Serres Cléroux for a flower-filled stroll in the open air. Amid the colorful paths and delicate scents, you’ll be tempted to pick up a new plant to brighten up your balcony or garden. The garden offers a variety of seasonal plants and invites you to take a leisurely stroll in the fresh air.
When the sky turns gray, the large greenhouses are transformed into enchanting botanical havens. It’s the perfect opportunity to chat with passionate horticulturists, learn a few gardening tips, and take a little piece of nature home with you. It’s a lush getaway worth taking no matter the weather.
When the sun is out, La P’tite Boutique invites you on a culinary escape to the heart of the charming Old Sainte-Rose neighborhood. Savor a fragrant couscous or a delicious paella in the sunshine while admiring the colorful buildings of the historic district. The historic atmosphere is perfect for a leisurely stroll before or after your culinary interlude.
When the rain drums against the windows, it’s time to come together. Cooking workshops take center stage in a warm and comforting atmosphere. Gather around the chef to learn the secrets of homemade dishes, laugh, share, and enjoy a delicious meal. It’s much more than just a meal—it’s a culinary experience that will take you on a journey.
Whether it’s raining, windy, or sunny, Laval is full of activities for every taste. Nature, culture, fine dining, or botanical discoveries—every corner holds a unique experience waiting to be discovered. So don’t let the weather dictate your plans!
