Arthabaska

Locals say Bois-Francs

Where maple syrup flows and the countryside breathes.

Maple RedForest GreenQuebec Blue

Welcome to the Bois-Francs! Here, the seasons set the rhythm: maple runs in spring, fields turn gold in summer, and snow blankets the trails in winter. Pull up a chair at a sugar shack or a farm market and you'll feel at home.
