Quebec by bike

Quebec and its many pleasures

Quebec has a wide range of wonders to discover, whether natural, gastronomic, or historical. By bike, set out to conquer the rolling roads of the Eastern Townships, taste the best of the rich agricultural culture of Centre-du-Québec, or let yourself be carried away by the enchanting seaside of the Gaspé Peninsula!

Discover Quebec in a different way

Going on a cycling vacation is a unique way to explore Quebec. Leave the highways behind and take the small, bucolic roads to discover the hundreds of villages that line our travel routes. Each one has its own history, traditions, and charming shops that will make you want to stop and explore! From village to village, you'll travel from the Eastern Townships to the Beauce, from the Lower St. Lawrence to the Gaspé Peninsula, and from the Laurentians to the Outaouais.

Cyclists looking for a challenge will be well served! The valleys of Charlevoix and the Eastern Townships offer formidable challenges for riders seeking steep gradients and exceptional panoramic views. It's enough to earn your evening meals, which will immerse you in Quebec's rich gastronomy, renowned worldwide for its exceptional local produce.

 

Quebec is a blend of sporting, culinary, natural, and historical pleasures. It means traveling along beautiful country roads during the day and falling asleep after enjoying the best of local cuisine in the evening. It means losing yourself in the immensity of the province's national parks and feeling great from the top of the peaks you climb by bike.

Quebec is all that and more! Between cities and countryside, forests and riverbanks, our beautiful province has everything to appeal to the cycle tourist in you.

Would you like to spend a few days in Quebec before starting your bike trip, or celebrate the kilometers you've covered at the end of your trip with a few extra days in Montreal or Quebec City? No problem! Contact our agents, who will offer you options based on your desires and needs!
