We all know the struggle of switching from summer to fall, wanting to go outside and enjoying the chilly weather, red leaves, but not knowing what to do. Here’s a list of cool activities you can try in November.

1. Decorate your room

Decorating your room is a low budget activity that can be done by everyone, whenever you have free time in your schedule! There are a lot of DIY’s videos about that on youtube to find original ideas and how to do it. Since Halloween is over, you can also choose to decorate your room with Santa clauses and Christmas threes to get into the Holiday Spirit!

2. Try horseback riding

There are so many exceptional equestrian territory in Quebec city! You don’t need experience in horseback riding to have a great time  doing this activity. You will sure create wonderful memories with your friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, family after going in a stable. There’s a place named Excursion Jacques Cartier wich you can visit to try a new formula of riding . It’s a free riding formula called “backcountry riding”. The monitors are with you in case there is a problem, but you arent’t obligated to follow each other in a single file.

3. Take pictures

Everybody knows that old quebec is a very photogenic place to go. No matter where you aim your lens, the scenery is sure to be spectacular. However, a few lesser-known locations offer lovely viewpoints for different shots of the old city. Here are our suggestions:

• Bassin Louise
• Rue Couillard
• Espace 400e
• Rue du Sault-au-Matelot
• Quebec Seminary Courtyard
• Montmorency
• Place de la FAO
• Pierre-Duga-De-Mons-Terrace
• Pillar Murals
• Dauphine Redoubt

When summer comes, everybody thinks about firecamp nights with friends. We almost forget that we can do that in any season you want! Take out your winter kit, invite your friends and do it!

5. Feed birds

Feeding birds in the garden is a popular activity. If you provide natural and supplementary food, your garden will be visited  by a lot of different birds during the month.  Create a little bird table (tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHJ8CEn2i2M ) and fill it with food like black sunflower seeds,  split peas, beans, dried rice or lentils.

6. Go to a coffee shop

A huge cup of coffee will bring you a nice comforting feeling for a few hours. Coffe shops like Starbucks and Van Houtte are perfect places to do homeworks and study. There are also  some original coffee places in quebec like Ceramique café, Ma langue aux chats, I can tell by experience that they are worth it.

7. Get lost in a corn maze

Visiting a corn maze is not always the first activity we think of, but it is such a funny activity! A popular corn maze in quebec is named Labyrinthe des cèdres. It’s in Limoilou in the Domaine des Maizerets. It covers 350 meters and is made with 750 black thuyas. A nice activity to practice your orientation!

8. Cook caramel apples

We all have wayyy too much apples since it’s the apple picking season. Why not cooking them into such a cute and sweet dessert as Caramel Apples?! It’s so much fun to do and really easy, even if you don’t have that much experience in cooking. Here’s a really good recipe  we found for you guys. Enjoy!
