Country Getaway

With just a few turns of the pedals, you’ll find yourself at the end of the world, surrounded by fields and valleys.

You’ll even take a short detour along the Chemin du Roy to explore the heritage of New France. Discover an idyllic world in Saint-Élie-de-Caxton, filled with elves and “paparmanes,” before heading back toward Trois-Rivières.

Between Lanaudière and Mauricie, you’ll find joy in the simplicity of the road, allowing you to cruise at your own pace through the farmland that makes Quebec a culinary destination!
