Bonhomme loves wandering around, taking photos of the snow-capped mountains and cheering on the outdoor enthusiasts enjoying all kind of sports. Above all, he enjoys taking the time to breathe in the fresh air and admire the gorgeous scenery. And this year, he decided to take on a challenge: to complete cross-country ski trails 4 and 5, for a total of 9.1 km. He\u2019ll also be sure to stop by La Bicoque campsite for a well-deserved break in the heart of the mountains!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/jacques-cartier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/skidefond_duchesnay_sepaq.jpg\" alt=\"la liste de souhaits de Bonhomme - ski de fond - Duchesnay\" class=\"wp-image-4177754\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover;width:850px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Photo : Station Duchesnay, S\u00e9paq<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-75\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/jacques-cartier.com\/en\/activity\/duchesnay-station-2\/\" style=\"background-color:#f59c00\"><strong>Discover more about Station Duchesnay<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"item-2-of-the-wishlist-going-for-night-rides-at-empire-47\">Item #2 of Bonhomme&#8217;s Wishlist:<br>Going for night rides at Empire 47<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonhomme fell in love with fatbiking a few years ago. Every winter since then, he\u2019s ridden his oversized bike along snowy trails. This season, he wants to try something new: night rides at <a href=\"https:\/\/jacques-cartier.com\/en\/activity\/empire-47-winter-2\/\">Empire 47<\/a>. What\u2019s that? It\u2019s a bike ride in the dark, with lights on the helmet and the handlebar. It\u2019s said to be pretty magical, with the moon reflecting off the snow and riders lighting the trails. It\u2019s a true spectacle! Night rides are available from Monday to Friday until 9 p.m. You can bring your own gear or rent a fatbike with a handlebar light included. The activity ends around a friendly fire outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/jacques-cartier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/web_190206_e47_5d_0079.jpg\" alt=\"Liste de souhaits de Bonhomme - fatbike \u00e9clair\u00e9e\" class=\"wp-image-4177745\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover;width:850px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Photo : Empire 47<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-75\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/jacques-cartier.com\/en\/activity\/empire-47-winter-2\/\" style=\"background-color:#f59c00\"><strong>Discover more about Empire 47<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"item-3-of-the-wishlist-experiencing-winter-camping-with-a-pro\">Item #3 of Bonhomme&#8217;s Wishlist:<br>Experiencing winter camping with a pro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonhomme doesn\u2019t mind the cold, but he wouldn\u2019t think of going winter camping without a professional guide. This year, he plans to try it out with the help of <a href=\"https:\/\/quatrenatures.com\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quatre Natures<\/a>. He\u2019ll spend a night in the magnificent Jacques-Cartier National Park, either in a self-built quinzhee (a traditional snow shelter) or in a tent. An experienced guide shares techniques for sleeping outdoors in freezing weather. Bonhomme is eager to learn new things, and he\u2019s already looking forward to falling asleep under a starry sky, in a quiet snowy forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1067\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/jacques-cartier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/mon-pays-2-e1763647988604-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Bonhomme&#039;s Wishlist - Quatre Nature camping\" class=\"wp-image-4177743\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover;width:850px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Photo : Parc national de La Jacques-Cartier, S\u00e9paq<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-75\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/quatrenatures.com\/home\/\" style=\"background-color:#f59c00\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Discover more about Quatre Natures<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"item-4-of-the-wishlist-enjoying-a-meal-at-chez-denise\">Item #4 of Bonhomme&#8217;s Wishlist:<br>Enjoying a meal at Chez Denise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonhomme has discovered a great place for families to grab a bite to eat in Shannon: <a href=\"https:\/\/jacques-cartier.com\/en\/activity\/chez-denise-2\/\">Chez Denise<\/a>. With its vintage decor and large tables, it\u2019s the perfect place for a fun time. Expect indulgent burgers, generous poutines, and desserts that warm the soul.
