We hear less about it in the media, but it has just as much to offer on the tourist front as its very popular counterparts. And I named the Chaudi\u00e8re-Appalaches region in Quebec<\/strong>, which is slowly opening up again. In time for the summer holidays.<\/p>\n

Val\u00e9rie<\/strong>, member and author on the milesopedia website, will join me to introduce you to this region. Two other members will help us because they live there. Thank you Karine and Jean-Phillipe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We thought that Western Canada, the Magdalen Islands and the Gasp\u00e9 Peninsula could use a little break from the hustle and bustle. In any case, the season is rather advanced to book there. So we’re getting ready for a road trip to Canada<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We’ll show you our great discoveries with four articles instead of one. Are you ready for nature destinations, original activities, cities and villages?<\/p>\n

We’re leaving.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”142801″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”]

It crosses three regions of Quebec between Nicolet and Rimouski, including the Chaudi\u00e8re-Appalaches portion. Here are our recommendations for stops and visits.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Visit of the most beautiful villages” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” el_id=”visit_of_the_most_beautiful_villages”][vc_column_text]Lotbini\u00e8re, Saint-Antoine de Tilly, Saint-Michel-de Bellechasse, Saint-Valier, L’Islet and Saint-Jean-Port-Joli. They are considered among the most beautiful villages in Quebec<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We stopped to admire the ancestral houses, to stroll along the banks of the St. Lawrence (there are several rest stops) and of course to taste the beers, ciders and wines at one or more of the seven producers of the Route des Alcools <\/a>. <\/p>\n

Accommodations (and\/or restaurants) suggested by Jean-Philippe:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Auberge Aupr\u00e8s du Clocher<\/a> in St-Michel (Airbnb).<\/p>\n

Four Points Sheraton Levis Convention Center (Marriott)<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”146679″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_single_image image=”143179″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Suggestions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

A stop at the beautiful marina of St-Michel.<\/p>\n

A detour by taking the turnoff that leads to the village of St-Vallier, historic village and place of origin of “La Corriveau”<\/a>. The ancestral houses are magnificent.<\/p>\n

Another stop, still on the 132, between St-Vallier and Berthier-sur-Mer. La Fromagerie du Terroir de Bellechasse offers local products, very good ice cream and of course, the inevitable fresh “Kwick Kwick Cheese” daily.<\/p>\n
