L'Érable County blends sugarbushes, clear lakes, and industrious towns. In Plessisville, maple heritage is more than a slogan—it shapes local festivals, family businesses, and menus. Nearby Princeville adds spacious parks and active recreation, while Inverness is known for bronze artistry and sweeping countryside views. Commuters and entrepreneurs benefit from quick connections to Victoriaville for regional employers, culture, and services.
Weekends here are easy to fill. The trail network at Parc régional des Grandes-Coulées offers hiking, fatbiking, and wildlife watching under cathedral-like hardwoods. Lac William in Saint-Ferdinand draws paddlers and anglers through three seasons, then transforms for skating and snowmobiling when the ice sets. For a celebratory meal or spa day, Manoir du Lac William pairs lakeside scenery with elevated hospitality. Winter enthusiasts can also carve turns and tube under the lights at Mont Apic, a hill that keeps outdoor fun affordable.
