Quebec by bicycle

Quebec and its many pleasures

Quebec has a wide range of natural, gastronomic and historical wonders to discover. On your bicycle, take on the hilly roads of the Eastern Townships, taste the best of the rich agricultural culture of the Centre-du-Québec or let yourself be carried away by the enchanting seaside of the Gaspé Peninsula!

Discover Quebec differently

Going on a cycling vacation means exploring Quebec in a different way. Leave the highways behind for the small country roads and discover the hundreds of villages that line the itineraries of our trips. Each one has its own history, its traditions, its charming businesses that make you want to stop there constantly! From village to village, you will ride from the Eastern Townships to the Beauce, from the Bas-du-Fleuve to Gaspésie, from the Laurentians to Outaouais.

Cyclists looking for a challenge will be served! The valleys of Charlevoix and the Eastern Townships offer great challenges to cyclists looking for steep climbs and exceptional views. Your evening meals will be well worth it, as you will be immersed in the richness of Quebec's gastronomy, known worldwide for the exceptional quality of local foods.

 

Quebec is an amalgam of sporting, gourmet, natural and historical pleasures. It's about riding along beautiful country roads by day and falling asleep after tasting the best of the local cuisine in the evening. It's getting lost in the immensity of the province's national parks, and feeling tall from the top of the peaks you'll climb on your bicycle.

Quebec is all this and more! Between cities and countryside, between forests and riverbanks, our beautiful province has everything to seduce the cyclist in you.

You want to spend a few days in Quebec before the start of your cycling trip, or celebrate the kilometers covered at the end of your stay with a few extra days in Montreal or Quebec City? No problem! Contact our agents who will offer options according to your desires and needs!
