General presentation
Sherbrooke
University town located at the confluence of two rivers, known for its museums, murals and urban parks.
Sherbrooke's discovery is based on the Musée de la nature et des sciences de Sherbrooke, Murales de Sherbrooke and Parc du Domaine-Howard. The stay thus alternates between urban life, riverscapes and heritage, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Museum
Musée de la nature et des sciences de Sherbrooke
The Musée de la nature et des sciences de Sherbrooke is a place where landscapes of l'Estrie, fossils, geological phenomena and natural environments are brought to life. His interactive exhibitions speak to families as well as to curious travellers to connect mountains, rivers and forests seen outside to an older history.
Place indismissible
Murales de Sherbrooke
The murals of Sherbrooke Turn several fronts of the city centre into painted scenes, often full of characters, trompe-l'oeil and local references. Their interest lies in the walk itself: a shopping street, a blind wall or a discreet corner suddenly become an image to read closely.
Place indismissible
Parc du Domaine-Howard
The Domaine-Howard Park maintains an atmosphere of bourgeois estate, with its old villas, gardens, mature trees and quiet aisles. A few minutes from the centre, it offers a very urban breath in the spring and summer, and a more cozy atmosphere when the snow highlights the pavilions.
Lake
Lac des Nations
Lake of Nations is one of the most accessible Sherbrooke to walk by the water without getting away from the center. The arranged walk makes it the tour with views of the reflections, the footbridges and the cyclists, while the nearby terraces easily extend the exit.
