The highlights of this escapade include: the Grandes-Piles–Saint-Roch-de-Mékinac segment, an exceptionally beautiful route running alongside the Saint-Maurice River; the park, of course, with its spectacular views, its shorelines, its challenges and its smooth roadways; a cozy night at Saint-Paulin’s magnificent Baluchon inn; and the gentle descent through the countryside toward the river. What a weekend!
