As Easter in Quebec approaches, the ducklings at La Ferme Basque de Charlevoix are guaranteed to charm young visitors with their wobbly steps and fluffy feathers. Guests can observe them through the farm’s new viewing installations while discovering the expertise of this family-run business specializing in duck farming.

A little farther away in the village of Saint-Urbain, the Centre de l’Émeu de Charlevoix offers another gentle encounter with nature. This time, striped emu chicks capture everyone’s attention. On site, the oil-making Economuseum, which is a living museum showcasing traditional craftsmanship, is also well worth a visit for curious minds.

Over in La Malbaie, the farm Aux petits moutons tout ronds promises equally heartwarming encounters. Children can bottle-feed lambs, cuddle the horses, and discover everyday farm life in a peaceful rural setting.

And of course, Easter wouldn’t be complete without rabbits. In Les Éboulements, Repère Boréal invites visitors to explore its mini-farm while enjoying a unique forest experience. Their treehouse-style accommodations offer spectacular views of the St. Lawrence River and a peaceful immersion in nature.
