Bas-Saint-Laurent Bike Tour

This adventure follows easy cycling terrain through a viscerally French, historic area known as the Navigator’s Route. Most of the roads are now paved and well-signposted as part of La Route Verte for cyclsts, but you will follow the same path as the first explorers, Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain.

The gently rolling, quiet country roads on the southern shore of the mighty Saint Lawrence River take you to quaint Québécois villages, including five of the ‘25 Most Beautiful Villages in the Province’, and a progression of gastronomic pleasures. As you ride your bike along the St. Lawrence River’s banks, observing the shorebirds and wildlife, admiring the waterfront homes reminiscent of turn-of-the-century seaside resorts, and marvelling at the traditional eel nets reaching out to sea, you might even catch a glimpse of passing whales. In the evening, you can enjoy the sun setting over the Charlevoix Mountains north of the river - rated by National Geographic as one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. This tour includes a visit to the spectacular Les Jardins des M√©tis/Reford Gardens, an amazing experience even for non-gardeners!
