You’re pedalling in complete peace. No honking horns, no stressful intersections, just the hum of your wheels and the whisper of the wind. No, you’re not dreaming! That’s exactly what the Zerotrafic route has to offer. Along 56 km of dedicated bike paths, Brome-Missisquoi unfolds at your own pace: nature reserves, a surprising open-air gallery, and the beautiful Douglass Beach in Lac-Brome to top it all off. Start your ride at the Bromont Tourist Information Office and let your legs do the rest.

Feet in the grass, glass raised to a blue summer sky, dining in Brome-Missisquoi is an experience in itself. A five-course meal crafted by guest chefs in the middle of the fields, artisan pizza fresh from the oven enjoyed under a pergola, a Michelin-starred plate surrounded by gardens, or a glass of farm-made cider overlooking the orchard… From farm tables to gourmet terraces, the region is full of spots where local flavours go straight from the land to your plate. Discover top spots and book fast, these tables fill up quickly!

Slow down on purpose

What if you simply hit the brakes for a whole getaway? Four days, four villages, one guiding principle: savour. The shops of Lac-Brome, the trails of Sutton, the orchards of Frelighsburg, the vineyards of Dunham… this region reveals itself to those who take the time to truly live it. Artisans, market gardeners, winemakers, innkeepers… here, the people who love the land set the pace. Follow them and let Brome-Missisquoi invite you into the art of slow living.
