An outdoor adventure!
To start the day off right, there’s nothing like outdoor exercise to burn off some energy and fill up on fresh air. Head to the Relais plein air in Gatineau Park for a little snowshoeing (or cross-country skiing if Mother Nature still allows). Spending a morning together in the heart of nature is the perfect way to disconnect! You don’t own snowshoes, skis or a fat bike, or you just want to travel light? No problem: the Relais plein air rents equipment at very reasonable rates!
When it’s time to rest and recharge, take a break at the Relais plein air’s Café des Sentiers. The menu features perfect lunch options, including hearty soups, gourmet sandwiches and delicious pastries for your sweet tooth. Plus, you can enjoy your lunch by the fireplace, and top it off with a nice latte!
Discovery time!
It’s time to move on to the cultural portion of this perfect couple’s day. Put on your street clothes and make your way to the National Gallery of Canada! Spend the afternoon exploring the special exhibitions and permanent collection, admiring works that tell rich stories, and strolling through the various galleries showcasing the building’s architecture. With more than 75,000 works on display, you’re in for a treat! Happy hour will come quickly, and that’s a good thing, because the National Gallery’s Tapas Bar 7 offers a fine wine list and a tapas menu inspired by the flavours of the world and the seasons. Take a little gourmet break in an extraordinary setting. Cheers!
