Once upon a time\u2026 this is the story of that enchanted place: Parc de la Gorge in Coaticook. A forest filled with admiring visitors in the day but empty and lonely by nightfall. To break this curse, the Parc called on Moment Factory, a dedicated team of enthusiasts whose mission is to bring places and sites magically to life. Thanks to visual and sound effects, the woods were transformed into Foresta Lumina, a magical place where legends come to life and interact with us.<\/p>\n

The trail, which you can complete in 40 minutes to 2 hours depending on your pace, features seven locations. In the Garden of Wishes, visitors can read a huge manuscript that tells them about the mysterious creatures that inhabit the woods. Fairies, spirits, strange creatures, and even the devil seem to inhabit these woods at night. There\u2019s more magic in store for visitors as they\u2019re invited to pick up an enchanted stone and make a wish. As they continue on their way deeper into the forest, they enter the Fairies\u2019 Path where they are greeted by its dwellers, flitting and darting in all directions.<\/p>\n

By crossing a mysterious portal \u2013 North America\u2019s longest suspended footbridge \u2013 visitors cross from the real world to an imaginary realm.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"FORESTA-LUMINA-23\"<\/a>From this point onward, plenty of adventures and encounters await. You\u2019ll follow Margaret, cross paths with the devil, approach the tree that comes back to life, face the cannibal creature, and weather a storm to arrive, finally, to the Enchanted Shore. Here, on the shores of the river, visitors throw their stone into the water to see their wish come true.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe absolutely loved working in a nature setting,\u201d says Marie Belzil, a multimedia director on the project. \u201cBringing out the magical potential of a place with a light touch and well-concealed technology and providing people with fantastic and magical experiences together in nature getaways \u2013 these are the kinds of projects we want to do more of.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a>
