This is your last chance to escape before the whirlwind of lunches and homework invades your daily life. For a day or more, here are 5 ideas for romantic getaways before the back-to-school madness.
Rent a mini-cottage
When it's been a long time since we took the time to stick together, or simply had the chance to talk to each other without being disturbed, the mini-chalets Repère Boréal, located in the Charlevoix region, are the perfect place to meet. We fell in love with the Maikan which, with its panoramic window, allows you to observe the stars (romantic, you say?). Of course, you can take advantage of your visit to the region to discover its attractions, but be aware that hot baths and a sauna are available to you on site and that no one will blame you if you do not set foot outside. this cozy cocoon!
Cross the border
We sometimes forget that the border with the United States is only 1h30 from Montreal. And sometimes, the simple fact of having to take out your passport and speak in English pushes us to drop out more than if we stayed in the country. On the other side of the border, there are many options for romantic getaways: lazing on the beach at Pointe au Roche or at Plattsburgh; adventure day at Ausable Chasm; gourmet discoveries in Burlington… there's no shortage of choice!
By taking good care to inform yourself about the pandemic situation, it is possible to have a good time with our American neighbors!
Spend a night (or more) at the hotel
No cleaning, no laundry, no meals to cook… a stay in a hotel is always a safe bet. Many establishments offer romantic packages, perfect for your romantic getaway before the back-to-school madness. This is particularly the case of L’Estérel Resort, in the Laurentians. Spacious suite with fireplace, breakfast served in the suite, bottle of bubbles upon your arrival, access to the Nordic spa… the big luxury!
Discover the wine route
We bottle excellent wines in Quebec, which unfortunately we don't know enough about. To stock up on bottles and discoveries, nothing better than a day on the wine route. To make the most of this getaway, leave the car at home and book a guided Eastern Townships wine tour with Kava Tours. By minibus (departing from Montreal or Bromont), a guide will take you on an exclusive tour of three vineyards – wine and cider tastings included. For dinner, a meal where local products are in the spotlight will beserved. The return is the same day, making it a perfect getaway for couples struggling to find a babysitter for the night.
Enjoy a day at the spa
If you can't keep your coconuts overnight, a romantic spa day is always an interesting option. The Balnéa spa offers different packages for lovers including four-hand massages, wine tastings and an excellent he althy meal. A relaxing day you won't regret!
