Following the latest directives from public authorities in connection with preventive measures to fight the spread of COVID-19, it is with regret that Vélo Québec Voyages informs you that the next Petite Aventure, planned from July 3 to 5, is cancelled and postponed to 2021, in the same region, from July 2 to 4, 2021.
Good times and special memories!
The Petite Aventure means experiencing a cycling holiday at your own pace, just as the summer solstice heralds the warm weather. It means sharing pleasant moments with friends, family members or that special someone. It means taking the time to play, savour, discuss, dream… experience the unforgettable! For its 25th edition, the Petite Aventure will take place mainly on the Estriade and the Montérégiade, two popular sections of the Route verte, which is also celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.For three days, you will pedal leisurely between Cowansville, Farnham and the Yamaska National Park, stopping for two nights in Granby, where you will stay on the site of Collège Mont-Sacré-Cœur, overlooking the city. Far removed yet readily accessible, this veritable sanctuary - wooded, spacious, well-appointed – is ideal for getting into vacation mode. Starting on July 3, the Petite Aventure guarantees good times and special memories!
