Away from the beaten track 

Have you fallen under the spell of gravel biking? The Centre-du-Québec region abounds in routes to ride and places to explore for the pleasure of the senses. Not only will you delight in the beauty of the countryside through fields and forests, but you'll want to discover the gourmet specialties that are the pride of the Bois-Francs region: wines, cheeses - the best! -microbrewery beers, honey and maple products.

Finally, a major collection of works by Canadian artists awaits culture lovers at the museum dedicated to Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in his impressive Victorian home in Victoriaville. All this on gravel roads that will give you the impression of exploring a different kind of Quebec, between nature and heritage!
