7 plans to warm up our evenings

Rédaction

Laura Martin, she shares her crushes and discoveries with us for our greatest happiness!

You can be a member of the secret group that swears off winter and, when it gets dark, locks itself in with an air of beef. Or you can join the clan of active optimists who take full advantage of the white season, day and night, indoors and out.

Here are 7 plans that will get you out of the house after the last rays. See you at the end of the night!

Parc national du Bic, rando aux flambeaux

Snowshoe trekking

Walk through the forest in the moonlight: what an enchanting experience! In winter, a few guided evening walks are organized in the grandiose setting of Parc national du Bic. Marshmallows and hot chocolate are offered as rewards to the brave.

In Rivière-du-Loup, discover the trails of the Saint-Ludger district by torchlight as part of the Festival du plein air du Bas-Saint-Laurent.

Watch out for werewolves!

Cheering on Rimouski’s hockey team, L’Océanic

Haven’t got out your trumpet to cheer on the Rimouski team since Sidney Crosby left? Now’s the time to make amends.

The atmosphere is always electrifying at the Colisée, especially on theme nights. Keep an eye on the schedule!

Try indoor climbing

With family or friends, challenge yourself and have fun at one of the two climbing centers: Rebond, in Saint-Germain-de-Kamouraska, and Coopérative Riki Bloc, in Rimouski.

Not only will you discover new muscles, but you may also discover a new passion. You’ll sleep well after that…

Skating under the stars

Little snow, romantic music, a drop in the nose: there’s no more romantic outing to do as a couple in winter.

Among the most beautiful places to skate hand-in-hand (or mitten-in-mitten) are, of course, parc Blais in Rivière-du-Loup, Parc Beauséjour in Rimouski and the ice trail in La Pocatière.

Relax at the spa

Tired of making crazy plans? Why not stew away in the baths of one of the Bas-Saint-Laurent magnificent health centers.

Many promotions are offered during the cold season. At Rimouski’s Noah Spa, for example, special offers are available for people aged 50 and over during spring break.

At Rivière-du-Loup’s UniverSpa Nordik, children aged 7 and over are admitted on Sunday afternoons, and the Centre de santé L’Estuaire welcomes you with a multitude of treatments.

How about a mother-daughter outing?

Join a film club

Do you spend your evenings watching TV series on your tablet? Why not attend a film screening on the big screen in the presence of other human beings?

Paraloeil, in Rimouski, and Cinédit, in Rivière-du-Loup, offer great programs of repertory cinema. Screenings are often followed by a discussion with the director.

And don’t miss the Vues dans la tête de… Sophie Deraspe festival from February 13 to 16 in Rivière-du-Loup.

Group games night

A fan of quizzes? So am I! You’re determined to beat complete strangers at a theme party.

In Rivière-du-Loup, you can show off your vast general knowledge (or your great humility) at the Aux Fous brassant, microbrewery, every last Tuesday of the month.

Board game evenings are also held twice a month at the La Pocatière municipal library.

Cheaters not admitted.
