Discover fall decorations at Petit Champlain and Place-Royale
Throughout October, immerse yourself in the warm ambiance of autumn with our outdoor harvest-themed décor!
Sometimes mysterious, sometimes playful, and always colorful, each element is meticulously crafted to create a pathway perfectly in tune with the season.
Created by locals
Our talented decorator, Mario, designed most of these decorations right in his workshop on Île d'Orléans. His craftsmanship adds a unique and authentic touch to each installation.
The iconic pumpkins, in all shapes and unimaginable colors, come largely from Ferme Genest. And don’t worry: the leftover pumpkins will be used to make delicious soups or composted. 🎃
