Going with the flow
In the Lower St. Lawrence, the river already feels the call of the sea, with its bays, lighthouses and tides. It is a region steeped in history, where churches, windmills, old homes and charming villages abound. It is also a whole series of images etched in our memory: Île d’Orléans on the left, the dyke between Saint-Denis and Kamouraska and the staircase topography of Rivière-du-Loup, punctuated with several waterfalls. Going with the flow – for a week of cycling pleasure!
En liberté formula: a more flexible adventureBefore your departure, as for our other formulas, we plan everything: transportation, accommodations, meals and, of course, our exclusive itineraries. Once at your destination, however, you have more freedom organizing your day.
The En liberté bike trip experience is designed for independent cyclists on the route. By opting for this formula, without a guide or relief vehicle, you will receive all the information you need to ensure that your trip goes smoothly, as well as the daily itineraries. The latter propose routes of interest around certain stopover cities, chosen for their offer of services and their accommodations. The En liberté formula - a different kind of adventure that still has the Vélo Québec Voyages touch.
Travelling En liberté means...
- Being able to choose your departure date and destination from our wide choice of itineraries
- Travelling as a couple, with family or friends
