If Downton Abbey or Bridgerton makes you dream of elegant afternoons, you don't have to cross the Atlantic to live the experience. In Vaudreuil‑Soulanges, you can enjoy a refined English‑style afternoon tea right here at home. Think delicate sandwiches, buttery scones, elegant pastries and colourful macarons—served on tiered trays, of course—while sipping your favourite tea in a charming setting.
