Le Lafrance Bistro - Vergers Lafrance is described as a picturesque, family friendly destination built around a large apple orchard and a shop full of local products, with the bistro praised for tasty food and a view over the grounds, and a wide variety of apples, ciders, pastries and other treats available to sample and purchase.

A large orchard with a wide variety of apples. It's especially worth mentioning that their brandy tastes great.

The good: entertainment for kids & live musicians, animals & food options.
The Bad: Too commercial for our taste & the apple variety was limited. Also, some food options & drinks were overpriced compared to nearby farms.
The Ugly: You have to pay entrance fee for Apple picking & then pay your bag according to its volume at the end. Not cool.

Very friendly place. We went for a walk through the apple trees. Season is over, but we were still able to enjoy the place & our afternoon. The view from their food place is amazing.

The best fried apple doughnuts around! They are great for days in the fridge & are rugged enough to slice & toast like a bagel! Bonus: baby animals! Gorgeous terrain. We had a dégustation in the shop & everything was so tasty we took home one of each!

I visited this place recently after 5-6 years, & it's changed quite a lot. It's very crowded now, but still has a nice atmosphere & is full of life. However, I was not happy with the back bag inspection after finishing the pick-up, which felt unnecessary. There's a $4 entrance fee, plus additional charges for apple bags. Another issue is that the tractor ride back is only for return trips & tends to be very crowded, which could be managed bette

La boutique offre une grande variété de produits toujours délicieux & le verger est toujours agréable à visiter. Nous avons eu une expérience particulièrement agréable grâce au chauffeur de tracteur nommé Gilles, qui nous a grandement aidé dans le verger.

Le seul point négatif du domaine LaFrance c'est qu'il est souvent victime de son succès & se retrouvent souvent trop bondé la fin de semaine en haute saison.
