Road Trips

Your Gaspésie tour begins in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region, which can boast the most remarkable sunsets on the planet. From La Pocatière, scenic Route 132 winds along the St. Lawrence River through the gentle landscapes of Bas-Saint-Laurent, with its pretty villages that French and English gentry turned into resorts in the early 1900s, to the rugged but breathtaking scenery of the Gaspé Peninsula and the famous Percé Rock.

The road from Québec City to Tadoussac has got to be one of most beautiful and exciting you'll ever drive in your life. Flanked by the St. Lawrence River on one side and the mountains on the other, the drive brings you Québec at its most sublime. Pure air, sparkling water, magnificent peaks, picturesque villages and epicurean delights - this is one experience you won't want to end!

Highway 15, the road linking Montréal to Mont-Tremblant, is chock-a-block with delightful detours. A happy mix of urban and rural, your route will be defined by how and where you choose to stop: to sample some local cuisine, perhaps, or enjoy a bit of the great outdoors ... Indeed, those who love golfing, biking, spas, hiking and swimming will find themselves in seventh heaven!

The Whale Route begins in lovely Tadoussac. The St. Lawrence Estuary and Gulf provide a summer feast for 13 species of cetaceans. Several companies located in various villages along the Route offer whale-watching excursions by kayak, Zodiac or boat. Not to be missed are whale watching from the shore and many interpretation centres on whales.
