This was my first time for a facial treatment and it was amazing. Nancy P, the Directrice, took care of me and did so with excellent care and attention. The results more than met my expectations. I highly recommend Nancy and the spa. Richard R.

6. Musee de la nature et des sciences
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 107 reviews
A new multimedia/multisensory adventure awaits, a mere stone's throw from the Orford Express and Omaterra. Witness the birth of the Appalachian Mountains and cross the lava fields. Feel the continents shift and the glaciers retreat as the earth trembles and the temperature soars, then plunges... You'll never see the Eastern Townships quite the same way again! Be sure to stop by the permanent exhibition "The Cycle of the Seasons," which showcases the finest plant and animal specimens in southern Québec! Consult the program for temporary exhibitions and events.

During my visit they had a traveling exhibit. I think it was called "The History of Rock 'n Roll." Really fun and interactive. Other parts of the museum were interesting, too, and most of the exhibits were in both English and French. Really good movie that takes you back geologically in time to see what the area looked like millions of years ago, thousands of years ago, etc. Fun way to spend part of an afternoon.

Sherbrooke's former train station has been converted into a fantastic market ~ Marché de la Gare. It features an indoor area with four specialty food businesses - Fromagerie de la Gare, cheesemonger; La Boucherie du Terroir, Butcher shop; Savo, Gourmet coffees and gelato; William J. Walter, Sausage-maker. Who could resist freshly baked baguettes, croissants right beside all those delectable cheeses. I certainly couldn't it was Heaven! Outside the Marché de la Gare, was their Marché de Noël du Marché de la Gare - Outdoor Christmas market! We did Christmas shopping and making merry with mulled wine, Great way to shop! You can ride the giant Ferris wheel, visit Pere Noël or twirl around the outdoor skating rink or simply walk along the many paths! It was a fabulous way to spend a Saturday afternoon in Sherbrooke!
