Chasing Daybreak
Stepping into the first rays of dawn is something close to surreal, something pure. Chasing daybreak is connecting with nature; it is the time of day you feel invincible, where all seems possible, where each break of dawn feels like a new world awaits.

The Day Starts at Noon
Pleasure is having all morning long to contemplate about the idea of roaming around all afternoon. There is no rush feeling when you start your day at noon. It is the best way to declare your love for the sun when it reaches its zenith. It is starting your day with a picnic! It is a stroll in the outdoors promising to lead you to the nicest of places for supper! It means no feeling guilting when lolling about in the morning! It is a compromise between early birds and night owls!
Sunset Strolls
The sun’s moment of glory, just before it crosses the finish line. Where the day’s blues give way to the bright reds, golden yellows, oranges and pinks of the evening skies. A sunset stroll holds the nostalgia of the day and the promise of evenings to enjoy. It is a privilege to have a front-row seat, eyes wide open towards the horizon.

Midnight Strolls
A midnight stroll through the countryside, far from the limelight is a thrilling pleasure! Nerves of steel and a right mind are a must! With or without moonlight, you have to come armed with the best of friends to savour the moment!
Walking in a city is by far the most thrilling of strolls! Cities, at nighttime, have a certain je-ne-sais-quoi, something exotic, something romantic. The vibrant energy that emerges is palpable, as if all inhabitants were connected to the same wavelength… Nightlife in the city can be crazily intoxicating! A nighttime stroll around the city will sharpen your senses, giving you the illusion that the world is at your feet. Long live Montréal, Paris, Utrecht, Marrakech and Madrid by night!
Sitting in a Café
Sitting down to enjoy some pastries or almonds, a full-bodied espresso or glass of wine, or even a chaï latte. A guilty pleasure that we can allow ourselves, whether in the middle of the week or on the weekend. A guilty pleasure that is claimed by any human being walking through the threshold of a café, pub or teashop for ‘’Happy Hour’’, brought by a chocolate croissant or a cafe con leche… or even both!
Eating Out
By itself, eating is a powerful factor inciting us to keep moving. Eating out, though, is something exhilarating! It is knowing in advance that we will escape from ordinary, that we are looking into an experience laced with originality, variety or gastronomy. Whether they are local or international, chefs with culinary talent out of the ordinary and world-renowned establishments are well worth the visit. Small restaurants, inns and food trucks all have their own spot on the top 100 list for comfort foods and good times to remember!

Strolls Around the Markets
Walking through ready-to-eat shops, food markets or grocery stores is quite a joy. We can count ourselves lucky to have the choice of choosing what to eat. Some handmade little treasures can remind us of home. Our grandparents and parents’ pantry will forever be THE one to compare a jar of raspberry, strawberry or rhubarb jam to. A candy jar reminiscent of festivities around the family table. Each clan has its own culinary traditions, preferences and musts.
History and Genealogy Strolls
There is no doubt: a stroll marked by historical pitstops is fascinating! Learning about the times, the places and the people who roamed or lived in the same spot where we spend most of our days is most fascinating. Time is relative. And in the short history of mankind, there is no shortage of captivating stories to listen to, to read or to tell.
