Enjoy Sherbrooke

Along the Magog River gorge, the walk becomes a captivating journey through time. Radcliff is an immersive audio‑theatre experience inspired by real events, revisiting a dark chapter of Sherbrooke’s history at the turn of the 20th century. After downloading the app, you choose your character — Béa, Kidman, or Sister Marie — before beginning the route at Porte des Fabriques.

With headphones on, you follow in the footsteps of John Radcliff, an executioner known for his frequent use of hanging, during a time when Prison Winter (1869–1990) loomed large over the city. Clues scattered along the walk advance the story, transforming the promenade into a haunting and immersive narrative investigation.

Sherbrooke is a prime destination for golfers, with a total of five beautiful courses. One was recognized by several golf magazines as one of the best semi-private golf courses in Quebec, another is the oldest 9-hole course in Canada, and a third one offers a breathtaking view with 36 holes to play. What’s more, one club offers a golf simulator where you can tee off year-round. Very few cities can boast so many golf courses!
