Enjoy vibrant cities and culture

Centropolis is complex of stores and businesses where you’ll find entertainment, great food and more. Families, friends, colleagues and couples appreciate it for days or nights out or team-building activities. It has pedestrian walkways to get around and there’s always something interesting happening at the Place Centrale. Specialty stores, a movie theatre, a board game pub and restaurants promise fun for all, while attractions like Maeva Surf and Sky Venture cater to seekers of new experiences!

Inaugurated in 1847 and recognized as one of the top ten most beautiful heritage buildings in Canada, the Bonsecours Market is home to 15 shops selling high-quality Quebec creations: arts and crafts, fashion pieces, accessories and jewelry, designer objects and old-fashioned Quebec furniture. Located a stone's throw from Place Jacques-Cartier, this Montreal gem is also a place for exhibitions and invites you to discover excellent restaurants for a bite to eat.  

At Carré 150 in Victoriaville, experience an intense moment this winter through dance and theater. See, among others, Rose et la machine, which tells the documentary story of Maude Laurendeau, mother of an autistic child. With Le vrai monde? discover how thin the line can be between truth and lies. With PPS Danse, dancers, musicians and singers will come together on stage to perform real classics. And the contemporary dance company Yvann Alexandre presents their latest creation. See all this and more this winter!

Taste the delicious aromas of the gin and rum varieties produced by the distilleries of the Gaspésie region and enjoy the wide array of beers you’ll find in the microbreweries, which range from classic blonds and reds, to one-of-a-kind creations that are as tasty as they are bold. After all, one of the greatest pleasures of winter is to have a drink with friends after a beautiful day out in the fresh air!
