18 mars 2021The outdoors is clearly a safe bet this spring. So let's take advantage of it to get out of our routine and discover new activities.
BOISÉ-DU-SÉMINAIRE
The Boisé-du-Seminaire is the first nature reserve in the heart of Quebec's urban area, with three wooded areas covering 10 hectares.
The history of the Boisé-du Séminaire dates back to 1770 and it is truly amazing to learn about its evolution over the centuries.
As early as 1873, members of the religious community began work to create trails and continued to do so for about fifteen years. They laid out several paths through the forest, the main one of which allows you to go around the entire woodland.
Even today, the trails through the forest allow you to walk around the woodland.
In addition to a beautiful hike, you feel good, you relax, you discover bridges, lakes and the immense richness of the many species of trees.
