Day 1
Arrival in Pointe-à-la-Croix.
Welcome to Pointe-à-la-Croix, the starting point of your journey. At the border between Quebec and New Brunswick, you’ll discover the beauty of the Restigouche River, which—just like you in the coming days—flows into Chaleur Bay.
Day 2
Pointe-à-la-Croix, Escuminac, Miguasha, Nouvelle, Carleton-sur-Mer (55 to 64 km).
The Restigouche River is quite beautiful, but we’re here for Baie-des-Chaleurs! After traveling a few dozen kilometers along the river, the Atlantic Ocean comes into view as you pass through Miguasha National Park. From that point on, you’ll stay right by the coast!
Day 3
Carleton-sur-Mer, Maria, Gesgapegiag, New Richmond, Caplan, St-Siméon, Bonaventure. Alternative route via St-Jules (63 or 72 km).
Today, the air on the Gaspé roads smells of the sea! Maria, New Richmond, Saint-Siméon… the villages roll by, and the road is gentle, allowing you to enjoy the majestic scenery unfolding before you.
Day 4
Bonaventure, New Carlisle, Paspébiac, Shigawake, Port-Daniel, Newport, Pabos Mills, Chandler (86 km).
Baie-des-Chaleurs still envelops us in its majestic blue curtain, but this time we’ll be climbing a bit, so warm up your legs before we set off! It’s during the last 30 kilometers of the day—especially around L’Anse-aux-Gascons—that the road starts to climb. Hang in there—once you arrive in Chandler, you’ll be able to cool off or reward your efforts with a delicious seafood platter!
Day 5
Chandler, Petit-Pabos, Grande-Rivière, Ste-Thérèse-de-Gaspé, Cap d’Espoir, L’Anse-à-Beaufils, Percé. Alternative route via La Petite-France and St-Isidore-de-Gaspé. (51 to 62 km).
By the fifth day, Baie-des-Chaleurs will hold no more secrets for you… or so it would have you believe! The gently rolling road lets you fully take in the magnificent scenery, with the journey culminating in a view of Rocher Percé! Standing before this natural wonder, you can say, “Mission accomplished!”
Day 6
A day off or a loop via Weygand, Ireland. (18 km).
After all that effort, it's time to relax! That's why we're offering you a free day to explore the area around Percé before heading back to Pointe-à-la-Croix the next day. Unless…
Still want more? Explore the hills of Percé on a loop hike of about 30 kilometers. Be warned! We’ll have a light breakfast this morning, since the loop starts with an elevation gain of over 250 meters as early as the 2-kilometer mark!
Day 7
10:00 a.m.: Return transfer to Pointe-à-la-Croix (3 hours 30 minutes).
