Have you fallen for the appeal of gravel biking? The Centre-du-Québec region is brimming with roads to ride and places to explore, offering a feast for the senses. Not only will you revel in the beauty of the landscapes stretching across fields and forests, but you’ll also want to discover the gourmet specialties that are the pride of the Bois-Francs region: wines, cheeses—the very best!—craft beers, honey, and maple products.
Finally, a significant collection of works by Canadian artists awaits culture lovers at the museum dedicated to Sir Wilfrid Laurier, located in his impressive Victorian mansion in Victoriaville. All of this is accessible via gravel roads that will make you feel as though you’re exploring a different side of Quebec, where nature and heritage come together!
