Quebec City to Kamouraska Bike Tour

Experience the language, gastronomy and history of “La Nouvelle France” as you roll along the St-Lawrence River!

Following the Navigator’s Route from Quebec City to Kamouraska, we’ll glide along the St-Lawrence River using scenic paved roads and La Route Verte bike path visiting several of “The Most Beautiful Villages of Québec”. Boasting what National Geographic called one of the top sunset regions in the world, this route will impress you with ancestral homes, the history and gastronomy of New France, bucolic villages for café and lunch stops as well as optional kayaking and lots of pastry, cheese, cider, wine and beer dégustation opportunities. Your guides Christine and Régis are excited to share their jewel of a city, Québec (a Unesco World Heritage site), and marvel you with their local knowledge as you wind your way to the region of Kamouraska where Régis was born and raised.
