When I have a few days off and want to unwind, I head to T\u00e9miscamingue. On the shores of that vast lake, I almost feel like I\u2019m at a seaside resort. As soon as I pass the C\u00f4te \u00e0 Perreault, see that hill rise on the horizon, I slip into vacation mode. I stroll Ville-Marie<\/a>, the prettiest village in all of Quebec, pass by the marina, drift away…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last summer, I came with a gang of girlfriends. We rented a cottage for a long weekend at La Bannik<\/a>. We had cocktails on the patio, cooked our meals on the barbecue, and caught up with each other over a bottle of fine wine. We spent time chatting in our own private spa <\/span><\/span>before toasting marshmallows round the fire, heads in the stars. The next day, some took advantage of the massage therapy services. We enjoyed the lovely beach, played Frisbee. Time drifted lazily by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since I work for Tourisme Abitibi-T\u00e9miscamingue, I\u2019m often called on to play tour guide for friends. On this visit, I shared with my friends that T\u00e9miscamingue is the pantry of our vast beautiful region. The area around the lake boasts a microclimate that benefits surrounding producers. With authenticity and enthusiasm, they reap the land\u2019s finest. So we visited \u00c9den Rouge<\/a> (we had vowed to try their new country dinner this summer), the Nordvie<\/a> farm, the vineyards of Domaine DesDuc, the orchards of the Verger des Tourterelles<\/a> (co-owner Marie-\u00c8ve makes an apple caramel \u00e0 la fleur de sel that is to die for), the Fromagerie Le Fromage au village<\/a> cheese works, and topped it all off with chocolate from Les Chocolats Martine<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in the neighbourhood, there are also a wealth of great restaurants, which I listed for the girls: Bistro Ell<\/a>e & Louis<\/a>, Eug\u00e8ne Auberge\/Bistro<\/a>, La Bannik<\/a>, etc. And of course I had to tell them about the food fair, the Foire gourmande de l\u2019Abitibi-T\u00e9miscamingue et du Nord-Est ontarien<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all of that food, of course we needed to get out and move a bit. I brought them to La Grande Chute<\/a> hiking trail. This hidden gem, which seduced Lana Turner and John Wayne in years gone by, will be part of the new parc national d\u2019Op\u00e9mican<\/a>, due to open partially in 2018. Next time, we\u2019ll have to visit the R\u00e9cr\u00e9-eau des Quinze<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right next door to La Bannik is another must: the Fort T\u00e9miscamingue\/Obadjiwan National Historic Site<\/a>. It boasts a trading post, enchanted forest, magnificent beach, 6,000 years of native presence, and a two-century rivalry for control of the fur trade. This is where it all began!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve promised ourselves a visit to the wasp interpretation centre, the Centre d\u2019interpr\u00e9tation de la gu\u00eape<\/a>, a truly intriguing place. We\u2019ll also have to give the Chibekana climbing wall a try, visit the Verrerie de la montagne<\/a> glassworks, do the Ligne du Mocassin<\/a> by bike, play Indiana Jones at the Fossilarium<\/a>, and tour Ville-Marie by bike taxi with V\u00e9lo-Taxi<\/a>. We have also made a pact to discover at least one of the 60 outfitters<\/a> in the region to tease out a few trout, walleye and northern pike. That\u2019s the thing about T\u00e9miscamingue. You come back, but you never feel like you\u2019ve seen it all…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
