Tutu Tuesday in Les Éboulements, Quebec: A Ballet Blogger's Delight
Hey everyone! It's your girl, Anya, back with another Tutu Tuesday post! Today, I'm taking you on a journey with me as I explore the charming little town of Les Éboulements, Quebec, in all my tulle glory. I have to say, there's nothing quite like wearing a tutu while you're strolling through the streets, feeling the breeze on your face and watching people smile. I feel like a ballerina, a princess, a fairy – and sometimes all three at once!
This week's tutu is a beauty, a classic Romantic style. It's crafted from layers and layers of soft, airy tulle and has a flowing, ethereal silhouette. It’s just so whimsical! I paired it with a classic white tee, a cute cardigan, and my favourite ballet flats. (I swear by my Dansko flats; they're comfy for dancing and running errands – they are literally the perfect combination of fashionable and functional!)
Now, let's talk about Les Éboulements. It's such a sweet little town. The village is nestled right along the Saint Lawrence River. Think cobblestone streets, quaint shops, adorable cafes – the perfect spot to do some window shopping and grab a delicious latte. And it’s a truly unique place to wear a tutu – all the other locals are super chill and think my little tutu outings are delightful! My favourite part is that they all love a photo opportunity – the town really is Instagram-worthy.
After browsing the charming boutiques (I snagged some handmade soap from the local craft store), we wandered down to the waterfront. I was totally smitten by the panoramic views of the St. Lawrence River and the nearby Charlevoix region. It was a bit chilly, so we cozied up with hot chocolate at a café. Can you believe how perfectly Canadian that is? Tutu, hot chocolate and the riverfront?! You can’t beat a scene like this in Les Éboulements.
As the sun started to set, the golden light was illuminating the entire town. It was the perfect moment to bust out some impromptu twirls. A little twirl under the setting sun in my favourite tutu just really hit the spot.
As much as I love exploring new cities and towns in my tutu, Les Éboulements holds a special place in my heart. Maybe it's the welcoming atmosphere or the breathtaking scenery, or perhaps the adorable shops and friendly locals. Or maybe, it's because the town allows me to truly embrace my inner ballerina – in my Tutu!
Speaking of ballet, let's take a moment to talk about ballet in Canada. We've got some seriously talented dancers here, you guys. Ballet in Canada is so vibrant. There's an incredible dance scene from coast to coast – I love checking out what's going on in the different communities and supporting all the talented artists! This Saturday, I’m catching a show at The National Ballet of Canada in Toronto – it’s going to be amazing! So proud of all my ballet buddies back in Toronto!
One of the things I love most about ballet is the way it brings people together. It's about community, artistry, and the power of expression. I try to make a point of bringing those elements into my own life as much as possible – that’s what this blog is all about. It’s about fun, sharing, and of course, Tutus!
I hope my adventures in Les Éboulements have inspired you to wear your tutu, embrace your inner ballerina, and explore the beauty that Canada has to offer! Let’s do a Tutu Tuesday, in all the fabulous little cities and towns of Canada!
Until next time, don't forget to twirl!
