The Maison Valois will once again be home to the Elf Post Office

This year, Le Courrier des lutins will take place on December 7 and 8, between 9 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. and 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., in the parc de la Maison-Valois. Children from Vaudreuil-Dorion are invited to visit the Elf Post Office, located in the Maison Valois, to send their letter of greeting to Santa Claus. Visitors will also be able to enjoy outdoor activities and soak up the enchantment of Christmas.

"The new Courrier des lutins formula was a great success last year. Families now enjoy an extended activity that goes beyond sending letters to Santa. By tying in the event with the Lumin'Art exhibition, which opens the same weekend at Parc Le 405, we're able to offer our citizens a complete experience to get into the holiday spirit," explains Vincent Bastien, Director of the Leisure and Culture Department.

On December 7 and 8, children are invited to come and stamp and seal their envelopes with Santa's real wax seal. The elf letter carrier Pinpheas and his friends will be on hand to help children and perform the magical ritual of sending the letter. To help the elves, the precious letters must be pre-written and already placed in an envelope. No reservations are required for this activity.Places inside the Maison Valois are limited.New this year, the 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. time slot will be adapted to reduce auditory stimuli. Some modifications will be made to the event to create a calm, inclusive environment for children with special needs, or who are simply less comfortable with the usual conventions of a mainstream event.

Outdoors, visitors will also be able to take part in the Apprentice Elf Trail, including hula hoop, giant bubble, circus and juggling stations, snowball throwing and a "search and find" activity in the parc de la Maison-Valois. By completing all the events, participants will have the chance to win a prize. To warm up, people can buy a free hot drink at the park chalet. The Caravane Mozaïk will also be on hand to hold a Christmas craft workshop.

The parc de la Maison-Valois parking lot will be closed for the event. Parking will be available on nearby streets. A few parking spaces for people with reduced mobility will be available close to the site.
