For as long as anyone can remember, egg hunts have been a favourite activity at Easter. Follow the orthodox tradition by decorating the eggs with watercolour paint. This way, everyone in the family can take part! At DeSerres, you can get a painting kit for under $8! For the sweet version of the egg hunt, choose chocolate eggs.

When the spring season comes around, it's time to go visit the sugar shack. Whether it's baked beans, maple sausages or the famous pets de sœur, at the Charbonneau sugar shack, all the traditional Quebec dishes are there! For those who like to get moving after a delicious meal, this modern sugar shack offers outdoor activities such as mountain hiking trails and an Abraska circuit.
