• Jean Nicolet Game - In Search of Animals - 45 min. to 1 hour of fun for the very young, who will have to find the animals hidden in the cedars and associate them with the trading post, with an introduction to the world of furs and history;
• Marie-Anne Gaboury Game - The Edible Flora Route - 1 to 1.5 hours of play with a herbalist's notebook, enabling you to discover edible and medicinal plants as you make your way through the maze and the great forest;
• Pierre-Esprit Radisson Game - The game in which you are the hero - 1.5 to 2 hours of play on different routes with the aim of collecting as many beaver pelts as possible and getting back south before the rivers freeze over, ideal for adventurers!

Once your game is over, you will have the pleasure of sampling a surprising drink at the Café-Terrasse: anti-scurvy herbal tea. It is up to you to decide whether you would like to accompany it with a snack or any other drink (at your own expense)! This little moment of relaxation will be perfect for debriefing your experience at the Labyrinthe Coureur des Bois, a not-to-be-missed family site in Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc, just a 40-minute drive from Trois-Rivières!
