Summer is made to enjoy beautiful weather and spend some time in nature. Weekend getaways can do so much good, without being overly complicated or pricey! Here are 5 atypical experiences to inspire you, only a few hours from Montreal.

Each raft has its own teepee or "bora bora" hut as well as a picnic table. The camp also provides canoes, sheets and BBQs. So cook up a storm and dine under the sunset to the gentle waves of the river. Need a little more action? The Pourki Tiki bar has you covered.

You will love their eco-friendly side: they were built with local wood, are insulated with hemp wool and are powered by solar panels - but most especially - the breathtaking views they offer of the water.

"There is something here that makes you want to sleep in, admire the coast and slow down a bit. Located on the Pointe à Santerre - named in honour of Pierre Santerre who bought the land in 1889 - in the village of Bic, Domaine Floravie offers an absolutely wonderful decor." - Marie-Michèle, Entre 2 Escales
