Fall is a time of fruitful abundance, in colours and in crops. Head for the harvest and pick your own apples, pumpkins, and squash at one of the many u‑pick (“autocueillette”) orchards on Île d’Orléans or along Côte-de-Beaupré.

Of course, be sure to save room for the other artisans along the way who offer jams, cheeses, baked goods and a host of other local products to fill up the corners of your gourmet basket.

For active outings, the Mont-Sainte-Anne's Great Colour Adventure event have fun and festive vibes, with lots of activities to enjoy the fall colours.
