Day 1
Arrival at Pointe-à-la-Croix.
Welcome to Pointe-à-la-Croix, the starting point of your journey. At the crossroads between Quebec and New Brunswick, you will discover the beauty of the Restigouche River, which, like you in the next few days, plunges into the Baie-des-Chaleurs.
Day 2
Pointe-à-la-Croix. Escuminac, Miguasha, Nouvelle, Carleton-sur-Mer (60 to 66 km).
The Restigouche River is very pretty, but we are here for the Baie-des-Chaleurs! After a few dozen kilometers of following the river, the water is revealed as we pass through Miguasha National Park. From that moment on, you will never leave the coastline!
Day 3
Carleton-sur-Mer, Maria, Gesgapegiag, New Richmond, Caplan, Saint-Siméon, Bonaventure (63 km).
Today, sea air fills your nose on the Gaspesian roads! Maria, New Richmond, Saint-Siméon... the villages pass by and the road is smooth to let you appreciate the majestic landscape that presents itself to you.
Day 4
Bonaventure, New Carlisle, Paspébiac, Shigawake, Port-Daniel, Newport, Pabos Mills, Chandler (85 km).
The Baie-des-Chaleurs still envelops us in its majestic blue curtain, but this time, we take a little altitude so warm up before leaving! It is in the last 30 kilometers of the day, particularly towards L'Anse-aux-Gascons that the road rises. Luckily, the arrival in Chandler will allow you to refresh yourself, or to drown your efforts in a delicious seafood platter!
Day 5
Chandler, Petit-Pabos, Grande-Rivière, Sainte-Thérèse-de-Gaspé, Cap-d'Espoir, L'Anse-à-Beaufils, Percé (45 to 53 km).
On the fifth day, the Baie-des-Chaleurs no longer holds any secrets for you... or so it would have you think! The road is not very hilly and lets you soak up the magnificent scenery, with the arrival at the end of the road facing the Percé Rock! In front of this natural wonder, you can say "mission accomplished"!
Day 6
Free day or loop via Route des Failles, Cannes-de-Roches, Coin-du-Banc (30 km).
After the effort, time to celebrate! That's why we suggest a free day around Percé before returning to Pointe-à-la-Croix the next day. Unless...
You are not satisfied? Discover the heights of Percé with a 30 km loop. Be careful! We suggest a light breakfast this morning, since we start the loop with more than 250 meters of vertical rise at kilometer 2!
Day 7
10am: Transfer back to Pointe-à-la-Croix (3 h 30).
