Tutu Tuesday in La Malbaie, Quebec: A Ballet Lover's Guide to Chic

Hey everyone! It's your girl, [your name], bringing you all the latest and greatest in fashion and, of course, ballet. Today, we're headed to the picturesque town of La Malbaie, Quebec, a place known for its breathtaking landscapes and charming vibes. And what better way to experience La Malbaie than by embracing the elegance of #Tututuesday?

So, put on your favourite pair of ballet shoes (or even just flats!), grab your camera, and get ready to twirl into this gorgeous town. But before you hit the streets, let's talk tutu style. I mean, a good tutu is the key to any fabulous #Tututuesday, right? Think about what your look says about you.

Do you love the romantic look? Consider a flowing tulle skirt in pale pastels or romantic whites and a pretty blouse. For a little drama, go with a vintage style tutu that falls just below the knee and top it off with a lace or velvet jacket. Add a pair of sparkly flats for a little flair. You'll be twirling through La Malbaie with a touch of French je ne sais quoi.

Or maybe you're a bit more modern and edgy? Check out a "contemporary" tutu – the mini tutu in a rich black or dramatic deep blue and wear a fun patterned or colourful crop top or sweater over it for a look that is edgy but elegant.

La Malbaie is begging for those Instagram-worthy pics, and the stunning architecture makes the perfect backdrop. Here’s how to make #Tututuesday amazing!

Must-Visit Spots

  • The Manoir Richelieu: This historic hotel overlooking the St. Lawrence River is a Canadian icon, known for its French colonial architecture, sweeping lawns, and majestic views.
  • The Rue Saint-Laurent: Take a stroll along Rue Saint-Laurent, La Malbaie's main street, and soak up the charming ambiance. Enjoy browsing local shops, enjoying a coffee from one of the many cafĂ©'s, and getting those cute photos.
  • Parc des Navigateurs: Located at the heart of La Malbaie, the park features stunning panoramic views, waterfront trails, and gorgeous flower gardens. This is a true "ballet" for your eyes.
  • Le Petit Cap: For the truly Insta-worthy views, take a trip out to this coastal cape just a short drive outside the town centre. The cliffside vistas and coastal scenery are truly breathtaking.
  • L'ÉcomusĂ©e de la CĂŽte Nord: Immerse yourself in the rich history of the region at the ÉcomusĂ©e, an open-air museum with reconstructed buildings. The history is very “Ballet” – with stories of settlement, struggle, and adapting to the changing times. It will leave you mesmerized by how beauty and strength were born out of seemingly impossible obstacles.

And, since no #Tututuesday is complete without some yummy snacks, I have a few of my faves to fuel those tutus:

  • La Fromagerie du Pied-de-Vent: In the mood for some of the most decadent French cheese, locally-produced? La Fromagerie has it all. Grab some delicious artisanal cheese, try the creamy chĂšvre, or enjoy some Canadian beer while you savour the local delights. It's the perfect spot for a delightful lunch stop during your #Tututuesday explorations.
  • Restaurant La RĂ©colte: If you are in search of exquisite local fare, this spot is where you need to be. This acclaimed restaurant offers a unique menu focused on fresh, seasonal ingredients.
