Tell me your favorite fall activities, and I'll tell you who you are
Written by Place de la Cité | September 20, 2021
Autumn is a season that arouses strong emotions, often divided: some love it while others hate it. While for many, this cool season is synonymous with comforting drinks, cozy sweaters and hikes in nature, for others, autumn is synonymous with darkness, depression and gray weather. Just for fun, we’ve gathered the favorite fall activities of each of 7 personality types. Which one do you identify with the most?
1. The passionate trendsetter
If you love fall and have an endless list of seasonal activities to do, you are definitely a trendy enthusiast! As soon as the temperature drops, you’re the first to enjoy an autumn spice latte and go apple picking. As soon as the first maple leaf turns red, you proudly bring out your checked shirts, sherpa jackets and XXL scarves. And you even invite autumn into your house, which is filled with candles with seasonal scents!
This fall, don’t let us catch you: you’ve gone apple picking. But we know you also go there for the selfies!

2. Structured eating
If you think that fall is the official season for soups, stews and all kinds of comfort food, then you are a structured foodie! Between planning and preparing meals, your heart is torn, but one thing is certain: the kitchen is your happy place. Your favorite activity this season: consulting your favorite cookbooks and food blogs in search of the best fall dish. Squash soups, apple pie and even beef bourguignon: you love trying everything.
This fall, don’t let us catch you: you’ll be in the kitchen, competing with Marilou’s dishes from Trois fois par jour. Bon app’!

Between a marathon of feel-good series on Netflix and a session of reading by the fire, you take the time to make yourself a cup of tea and light a candle.

7. The anti-autumn in total denial
If you hate autumn so much that you deny the existence of the season, you are surely a total anti-autumn denier. Whether it’s 25 or 15 degrees, you wear shorts and sandals, it’s non-negotiable. You may or may not put your sneakers away at the same time as your summer tires. For you, there is no such thing as the “last soft-serve of the season”: frozen treats are for all year round! There’s no way that autumn (yuck!) is going to spoil your fun and change your summer habits.
This fall, don’t let them get to you: for you, it’s still summer and you won’t accept anyone who dares to wear boots and a coat!
