My spring break with exo
I'm going to let you in on a little secret: even though I’m no longer in school, I still take some time for myself during spring break. Here are three destinations in Delson that are easy to get to with exo!
1. Café L'Apostrophe
Whether to enjoy a quiet read or grab a coffee with friends, I highly recommend a visit to Café L'Apostrophe in Delson. I absolutely love this place. It has a warm and colourful atmosphere worthy of Pinterest and a boutique area overflowing with local products. I grabbed a chai latte, and it was sublime! I should also note the café doesn’t offer Wi-Fi, which is perfectly fine with me. It’s an excellent way to disconnect from your phone and better connect with the people around you.
To get there: Lines 533, 151, 651
Address: 36 Blvd. Marie-Victorin, Delson
2. Parc de la Tortue
I spend 40 hours a week in front of my computer, so you can bet I take every possible opportunity to get some fresh air and clear my head. Plus, spring break is a perfect occasion to enjoy the winter! So I set out on the trails of Parc de la Tortue in Delson. The groomed paths run for two kilometres along the Rivière de la Tortue, offering peaceful scenery. I also discovered sledding hills and a turtle nesting site that I’ll definitely come back to see in the spring. There are several entrances to the trails, all easily accessible by public transit.
To get there: Lines 615, 553, 151
Address: 180, rue Principale N, Delson
3. Palais du patin
I haven’t laced up a pair of roller skates since I was a kid, so I was excited and curious to visit the Palais du Patin, located at the Centre Sportif in Delson. Its eclectic and dazzling ambiance totally amazed me. The roller-skating rink is lit up with neon lights, accompanied by lively music. It’s so much fun! As for my skating skills, I’d give them a solid 3/10. ;)
Note that tickets sell out quickly, so I suggest booking in advance.
