See, smell and taste in Laval

You may be surprised to know that Laval is an agritourism destination, with a wide variety of local products available to sample! Awaken all your senses on an exciting gourmet tour of the city's many orchards, greenhouses, nurseries and farms. Why not take advantage of your visit to Laval to pick your own delicious fruits and vegetables, an activity offered by the Vaillancourt and Marineau farms, among others? There are some fifty kiosks all over the island, where you can sample a wide range of exceptional products.

Are you a fan of cheese, chocolate, lamb or orchids (Le Paradis des orchidées boasts over 30,000 varieties!)? The Laval region has many surprises in store for epicureans and botanists alike. It is even home to the first Quebec vineyard authorized to use the "Château" designation usually reserved for the great European winemakers: Château Taillefer Lafon!

Discover exceptional culture and buildings

Laval also impresses when it comes to cultural, educational, scenic, historical and artistic attractions, many of which are definitely must-sees. Budding scientists will certainly love the Musée de la santé Armand-Frappier and the Centre d'interprétation de l'eau (C.I.EAU), both of which offer captivating exhibits and activities that are as interesting as they are fun. The Musée pour enfants (Children's Museum) and Cosmodôme are also family favourites.

Museums, art galleries, concert halls... Laval also boasts a number of cultural venues worth discovering, including the Maison des arts. For history buffs, Laval's magnificent built heritage is easily explored with the Parcourir Laval app, available for free download. You can also follow the Route du patrimoine (Heritage Tour), which highlights some of Laval's finest treasures.

And if you’re more into outdoor activities and sports, head over to Parc de la Rivière-des-Mille-Îles for some canoeing, kayaking or paddleboarding!
