Ca y est je vais partir un mois à trois Rivières en février (glagla) pour faire un stage (je suis ensiegnante en maternelle-élémentaire).
Bon maintenant je cherche des trucs sympa à faire dans et aux environs de Trois Rivières (je vais peut être partir seule donc il va falloir s'occuper) et aussi plus loin (un très bon ami habite Montréal). j'avais pensé à :
visite de Montréal cabane à sucre (oui touristique mais je serais en touriste) visite de Québec j'aimerais visiter une réseve d'autochtones mais est-ce vraiment trop touristique ? motoneige (une journée) : avez vous des adresses aux environs de Montréal (en gros pour y aller, en profiter et revenir sur Montréal dans la journée) chute de Montmorency
Avez vous des propositions ?
Sinon une question : combien coûte le taxi par rapport à la France ?
En février est-ce froid froid froid au point que je serais la seule folle à prendre le bus ou on peut quand même "vivre" ?
J'espère que tu t'amuseras au Québec en hiver autant que je l'aime moi-meme.
Tu arriveras surement par l'aréoport de Montréal. Je te suggère de prendre l'autobus jusqu'a Trois-Rivière. Tu peux prendre l'autobus directement depuis l'aéroport avec la compagnie Orléans express (orleansexpress.ca) Sur leur site tu trouveras une grille tarifaire détaillée. Sans quoi un taxi entre l'aréoport et le centre-ville de montréal coute 35$ à tarif fixe. (pour les transports régulier, compte 3, 15$ de base plus environ 1, 15$ du kilometre)
Dans le coin de Trois-Rivière, tu dois absoluement passer par le parc de la Mauricie ou tu pourras faire du ski de fonds, de la raquette, de la motoneige. Selon ma propre expérience, il s'agit d'un des plus beaux parc du Québec, les gorges sont manifiques. (voir http://pc.gc.ca/pn-np/qc/mauricie/index_F.asp). Par contre, je n'y ai jamais fait de motoneige. Mais la région de la Mauricie est reconnue pour ses sentiers de motoneige, alors tu n'as pas à t'inquiéter.
La région de Trois-Rivère comporte de nombreuses cabanes à sucre. Mais avant de t'y rendre renseigne toi auprès des autres enseignants, même si le commerciale ne te dérange pas, certaines cabanes à sucre coupent le sirop d'érable avec de l'eau et c'est bien dommage! Pour une vrai ambiance de cabane à sucre, attends le plus tard possible pour y aller, la saison ne commence pas vraiment avant la fin du mois de mars.
Dans la région de Québec, je te suggère de t'y rendre pour un week-end complet. Depuis Trois-Rivière il faut compter 1h30 pour se rendre à Québec en voiture. Le meilleur moment serait de se rendre durant le carnaval de Québec qui a lieu en février. Tu pourras voir la ville sous un air de fete et tu pourras constater que malgré le froid le gens de Québec savent feter! (voir http://www.carnaval.qc.ca/). Tu peux compter une journée et demi dans Québec et une autre journée pour les activités un peu plus en périphérie.
Durant ton ou tes séjours à Québec tu peux aller aux chutes Montmorency, Au village Hurons (bien que tres touristiques, la plus part des Européens rencontrer, qui ont tenté l'expérience, ont tous adoré leur visite. (voir http://www.huron-wendat.qc.ca/).
Si tu disposes d'un peu plus de temps, tu peux passer par l'ile d'Orléans, Charlevoix (pour des payasages à couper le souffle) ou encore la vallée de la Jacques Cartier.
Pour voyager à peu de frais entre Québec-Trois-Riviere et Montreal rien de mieux que le covoiturage. Voici deux organismes en charge de jumeler conducteurs et passagers à peu de frais. (http://www.amigoexpress.com/ et http://www.allostop.ca/)
Coté Montréal, il y a la beaucoup de chose à faire, le night life est important et la fine cuisine tres présente. Il faut compter environ 1h00 de transport depuis Trois-Rivière. Je te déconseile l'idée de la motoneige dans la région de Montréal. Puisqu'il s'agit d'un centre urbain, les grands espaces sont beaucoup moins accessible. Garde la motoneige pour Trois-Rivière, tu y seras davantage servie. Visite du centre ville, visite des différents lieux historiques, mais surtout, des spectacles, des bars... Montréal est très urbain, mais un détour au Mont-Royal est abosluement nécessaire. Aussi, un petit tour près du canal Lachine et ses rapides. (voir http://www.bonjourquebec.com/)
Bref j'espere que ca aidera et que tu passeras un super mois avec nous.
Oublie pas ton manteau chaud. L'hiver la température peut être parfois surprenante entre 5 et -25. Mais plus souvent qu'autrement il fait autour de -10. Dans le coin de Trois-Rivière et Québec le vent est très présent ce qui rends l'air un peu plus sec. A Montréal il fait toujours quelques degrée de plus. Mais dit toi que ca presques 400 ans que des gens vivent à Québec. Alors rapel toi qu'est les Québecois ont parfois les pieds froid, mais ils ont le coeur Chaud!
Merci pour vos réponses !!
Ca donne vraiment envie et j'ai trop hâte d'y être autant sur le plan touristique que professionnel : j'ai postulé pour ce stage pour me confronter à une autre manière d'enseigner.
Des collègues ici me disent "ohh les enfants vont avoir un de ces accent !!". Faux c'est moi que vais avoir un accent pour eux 😛
Pour le manteau chaud je pense garder le mien (assez chaud mais manteau "français") quitte à en acheter un sur place car je pense que les manteaux français ne sont, en général, pas adaptés au climat québécois (ici quand il neige 2 cm tout est bloqué plus personne ne circule !!)
Sinon que pensez vous de Air Canada ? Car pour air france (en tout cas le retour) c'est trop tard : le retour coûte 1300 euro en tarif jeune 🏴☠️ ouille !!
Selon les sites de rating, Air Canada a eu droit a 3 étolies Air France 4......Perso je prends Air Canada, beaucoup moins cher, pour a peu près le même service.....il y a d'autre compagnie encore moins cher mais c'est des vraies boites a sardines😊
J'aimerais bien savoir à quel école tu vas faire ton stage car je travail moi même dans une école😉. De plus si tu pense être la seule à prendre le bus tu te trompe. Lorsqu'il fait trop froid en février les gens prennent le bus car la voiture en hiver c'est parfois 😠. Elle ne démarre pas ou les vitres sont glacées etc. Si tu veux une bonne adresse de cabane à sucre, c'est Chez Gerry à St-paulin c'est un peu touristique mais tu mange bien et tu peux aussi manger de la viande sauvage. C'est environ à 30 minutes de Trois-Rivières. De la motoneige en Mauricie pas de problème pour ça! Pour les vêtements c'est très important!!! En février tout est en solde pour les vêtements d'hiver... Écono Sport propose de bons vêtements à prix abordable.
Je te souhaite bonne chance et n'hésite pas si tu as des questions!
...le goût de la vie qui dit qu'un enfant joue et ne doit pas travailler...
Tryo
Je ne connais pas encore l'adresse et le nom de l'école où nous allons aller : c'est un grand mystère que nos foamteurs daigneront nous révéler sûrement le 20 décembre ... peut être qu'il s'agit de ton école 😎
J'ai pris mon billet d'avion, ça commence à se préciser, c'est dans moins de deux mois.
C'est chouette que les vêtements soient soldés pour pouvoir bien se couvrir (dixit un ami français à Montréal les français sont repérables de loin car ce sont eux les plus couverts)
si tu vas faire de la motoneige tu pourras louer des vetements donc pas besoin d'en acheter.
à trois rivieres tu peux visiter les vielles forges et tu peux te rendre aussi à shawinigan pour visiter la cité de l'énergie qui est tres intéressant( c'est un genre de musé qui parle de l'historique de l électricité.)
y a plein de choses à faire entre quebec et montreal, il s'agit de savoir se que tu as le gout!
pour se qui est de touristique ou pas touristique, qu est ce que sa change si tu as du plaisir.
si tu as besoin d'autre reseignements n'hésite pas.
bonjour?🙂
je suis francaise et je vis a montreal depuis presque un an et crois moi il fait vraiment trés trés trés froid alors prend pas tes petits top ni té jupes oublie vite.............
tu as raison de voiloir visiter montreal c est une ville formidable tu vas t éclater c est super le fun....
mais c est plus agreable de faire sa l été car maintenan avec la neige c est pas trés simple de se deplacer..
en tout cas passe de bonne vacances et surtout pense pas pense pas au froid!!!!

Hi there, I’m planning a road trip to Quebec in late September/early October.
Since I’m over 75, it’s impossible to rent a camper van. So, the option left is a car plus hotels. I’m used to traveling freely—I sketch out a rough route and stop wherever and whenever I feel like it.
Is it possible during this period to travel without booking hotels/motels or B&Bs in advance, knowing I’ll only need a double room?
Thanks for your replies.
Hi, I’d like to visit Quebec this fall or starting in August (what do you recommend?). I’d love to meet some Quebecers and get some tips on transportation. I’m wondering if it’s doable with an electric mountain bike (not too much rain?). I’m planning to buy one second-hand and return it afterward. If there are any travel buddies out there too...thanks
Hello,
I’m not sure if it’s still possible to travel to Quebec. I haven’t bought my flight ticket for June (from June 11 to July 1) and I’d like to know the current cost of gas. Also, can we book hotels last-minute without risking cancellation due to current events? Thanks
Hi everyone, from August 7th to 10th I’m renting an apartment right across from the WESTMOUNT library, next to the park of the same name. The landlord tells me that parking around the apartment is free. Does that cause any issues? I was planning to rent my car before leaving MONTREAL, but I might visit a friend who lives nearby—I’ll only know for sure at the last minute. Thanks in advance for the replies
Hi everyone,
We’re heading to Québec for 4 days in Montréal and 4 days in Québec City from April 18 to April 22. I’ve been looking but can’t find any excursions—any tips for seeing belugas or other whales?
If it’s really off-season and impossible to find anything,
what else can we do in the area instead?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip to Quebec from June 15 to 28, 2025, specifically along the St. Lawrence River. As I’ve been looking into it, I’ve got two main questions:
First, about our route—I feel like I might be biting off more than we can chew by wanting to follow the left bank downstream from Quebec City (including the Saguenay Fjord and Lac Saint-Jean), then heading to Gaspésie by ferry, and finally returning along the right bank. We’re flying into Montreal and will likely stop in Quebec City too. Over about ten days, is that too much? Would it be better to stick to the left bank, enjoy the coast and the lake, and maybe explore Mauricie or Mont-Tremblant on the way back instead?
Second, about prices. Since we’re thinking of renting a car and booking accommodations at each stop, I was a bit surprised by hotel and motel rates. I’ve always heard Canada is a pretty expensive destination, but I’m seeing average prices very similar to France—between 60 € and 90 €. Am I missing something? Is service not included? Meanwhile, on platforms like Airbnb, the prices seem exorbitant.
This second question is a bit generic, but as I’m trying to budget, I don’t feel like there’s a huge difference compared to France, even for meals. Am I way off base?
Hello everyone.
We’ve already traveled to Canada in 2018.
This time, we’re prioritizing heading to Quebec City right after arriving in Montreal to stay for 3 days, then moving on to Rivière-du-Loup for 2 to 3 days before heading toward New Brunswick.
We want to see Acadia, Prince Edward Island, the Bay of Fundy, etc., before returning to Quebec City to drop off the rental car.
We were thinking of taking the bus from Montreal Airport to Quebec City and only renting the car 3 days later. Same route on the way back, with one night in Quebec City.
We arrive in Montreal around June 25 (11 AM) and return on July 26 (6 PM).
Could you give us some advice? Routes, sights, accommodations, and chalet rentals.
On our first trip, we went through an agency, but this time we’d prefer to organize everything ourselves.
Thank you so much for your tips and suggestions!
See you soon,
Fabienne
Hi everyone, as a regular in the "bike travel" section, I’m reaching out for some info since I’m planning to come to Montreal at the end of September 2026 for the Road Cycling World Championships. If I get the time off and manage to gather the details, I’ll arrive on Wednesday the 23rd and leave on Tuesday the 29th. Traveling solo with just my backpack, I need answers to:
1°) Do you know of any youth hostels (or similar) within walking distance (less than 3 km) of the finish circuit on Mount Royal?
2°) What’s the best way to get to this accommodation from the airport—metro, bus, etc.?
I’m just starting my research and counting on you all for any tips. My goal is to watch the road races and explore Montreal afterward—restaurants, bars, and more.
Hi everyone! 🙂
My partner would love to discover Quebec, while I’ve already been there over 15 years ago (Quebec City, Tadoussac, the Fjords, Lac Saint-Jean).
This time, of course, we’d want to do something different.
Quebec City would still be a must for my partner in this plan.
With the tight budget we have right now🤪, we’re thinking of spending several days in Quebec City, then maybe renting bikes to explore the surrounding areas—aside from Montmorency Falls, what other nice spots are worth visiting? I remember there being tons of bike paths.
After that, we’d rent a car (for a few days to visit the parks) and use trains or buses for the rest of the trip. From what I recall, cars aren’t super fuel-efficient there.
Since we’ve never seen Niagara Falls, I’d like to include it in this itinerary.
For a roughly 15-day trip in September, I was thinking of a multi-destination flight: France-Quebec / Toronto-France, so it’d look something like this:
Quebec City: 5 days (including arrival day)
Pick up the car
La Mauricie National Park (or others?) 1 day
Mont-Tremblant 1 day
Montreal 4 days
Drop off the car in Montreal
By train/bus
Toronto 2 days
By train/bus
Buffalo-Niagara Falls 1 day
Toronto 1 day (return to France)
I was planning one night at Niagara Falls—is that enough, or is a single day sufficient?
If our finances don’t stretch that far, we’d shorten the trip from Montreal (so long, Niagara🙁), adding extra nights between Quebec City and Montreal.
Anyway, thanks in advance for all your great tips!
Hi, I’d like to plan a trip for 4 adults. 14 days.
From June 4–6 to June 21, 2026
Arriving in Montreal
Then Quebec City... Gaspésie, Lac Saint-Jean
Looking for a loop route starting and ending in Montreal
Where to sleep... where to stay 1 day or more
Thanks for your ideas!
Nature, hiking, a little city time—but not too much.
Jean-Yves. B ARBRISSEL
hi there,
it's been a long time since I've been to Quebec, and I've kinda lost my bearings...🙂
What's the best spot to hitchhike from Montreal to Quebec City and from Quebec City to Tadoussac?
If you've got the public transit route to get to those spots, I'd love to hear it!
Hi there!! We all know there are mosquitoes in Quebec… but is it bearable? Are the cities affected too? Like Montreal and Quebec City? I can imagine it’s bad in the parks… The road trip would be from July 5th to the 21st, right in the middle of bug season!! Best, Christophe
If you’re French, you *have* to make an effort to go see Alexandre Texier play at the Bell Centre. The new player for the Montreal Canadiens, originally from France, is having a lot of success. 🏒
Looking for a comparison? Imagine a Quebecer playing for Paris Saint-Germain. ⚽ You’d be surprised, and we’d be proud. Well, that’s exactly what’s happening. Yesterday, he was the hero of a great win. 🌟
Many of you often wonder what makes Quebecers’ hearts race. Go see a Montreal Canadiens hockey game, and you’ll experience something unforgettable. Especially right now with this young team. Okay, does this fit the travel forum criteria? I think so—especially if you want to learn more about the locals you’re visiting. 😄
Enjoy your trip to Quebec! And if you’re from France, don’t worry about the snow—it always melts eventually. 😄😄👋👋👋
We’re planning our first trip to Quebec for early July 2026. There’ll be 2 adults and 2 teens (17 and 14 years old). For now, we’re thinking of renting an RV in Montreal for this loop.
Here’s a first draft of our route, based on itineraries I’ve seen on the forum.
The times below are the useful time spent at each stop, not including driving.
Does the order make sense? It has us crossing the river twice.
Are the lengths of the stops reasonable? We like to take our time and not spend too much time on the road.
Finally, any other suggestions for places to add or swap out?
Arrival and half a day in Montreal
Pick up RV the next day
Mauricie National Park: 2.5 days
Quebec City: 2 days
Jacques Cartier National Park: 2.5 days
Saguenay Fjord–Tadoussac: 2.5 days, then crossing
Bic Park: 2.5 days, then crossing back
Charlevoix: 3.5 days
Montreal: 2 days, then return to France
Thanks so much in advance for any help you can give us!
Hi, I'd like to know if I rent a car at Quebec City airport, can I drive to New Brunswick without any issues and then return to Quebec?
Thanks in advance for the answer, Claude
Hi everyone,
I’m planning a trip to Quebec at the end of June/beginning of July 2026 for 20 days.
We’re a family of 4, with two kids aged 7 and 4 at that time.
I’ve already started drafting our itinerary but I’m open to all suggestions and ideas.
We plan to land in Montreal and stay a few days to recover from the trip.
Here’s my first draft of the itinerary:
-Day 1 to 4: Exploring Montreal:
-Day 5: Sucrerie de la Montagne in Rigaud.
-Day 6/7: Parc Omega (staying in Pods)
-Day 8-10: Saint-Alexis-des-Monts (staying at Pourvoirie du Lac Blanc)
-Day 9/10: Heading toward Lac Saint-Jean: I’m still looking for accommodation halfway to La Tuque. I’ve noticed Pourvoirie du Triton or Domaine Le Bostonnais.
-Day 10/11: Zoo Sauvage de Saint-Félicien: I’m also looking for accommodation near the lake for this stop + visiting Village historique de Val-Jalbert?
-Day 12-13-14: Stop in Sacré-Cœur at Ferme 5 Étoiles. (I also saw the Canopée Lit accommodations in the area—something to consider).
-Day 15-16: Tadoussac: Whale-watching excursion. Should we do it by Zodiac given my kids’ ages?
I’m also looking for accommodation in the area (Hotel Tadoussac is out of budget).
On the way back from Tadoussac to Quebec City, I’m considering an intermediate stop if there’s a spot worth the detour (Malbaie??).
-Day 17-18-19: Exploring Quebec City (Montmorency Falls / Old Town / Wendake).
-Day 20-21: Return to Montreal and flight home.
I’d love recommendations for activities for young kids along this route.
Thanks
I’m heading back to Montreal in early November after several years away. I’m so excited!
I won’t be staying long, but I’ll have time to wander and explore.
I’d love to get your recommendations for great things to eat—restaurants, bakeries, all kinds of food.
I’m open to all your suggestions and addresses.
I’ll definitely hit up the market. And eat bagels, of course.
I’ll probably stay in the Quartier des Spectacles,
but I’ll definitely be getting around the city.
Hi everyone,
I’m planning to spend at least 3 weeks on the Côte Nord all the way to Natashquan to see the whales. I’m torn between renting a van or finding accommodations.
For the van, it’s hard to find one in Quebec City—most rentals start in Montreal... plus the prices are pretty high.
For accommodations, there aren’t many towns, so there aren’t a lot of options on Booking, for example. Do you have any leads, websites, or addresses to help me find some?
Thanks for any info you can share!
Isabelle
We’re heading out for 3 weeks and just bought our flight tickets;
3 days in Montreal
2 days in La Mauricie Park
drive down Route 155 to Lac Saint-Jean
2 days in Tadoussac
ferry to Gaspésie—planning to stay 6/7 days there
Charlevoix region for 3 days
Quebec City for 2 days
Back to Montreal
If you’ve got any great tips, I’d love to hear them—accommodation, activities (seaplane, bears, whales), parks.
We’re traveling with our kids, aged 20 and 23,
I’ve got a bit of a weird request , but you never know...
I’m currently traveling—we left Tadoussac this morning and are in Rimouski for 2 nights. We’re then heading down the Bas-Saint-Laurent and will be in Montreal on Tuesday. We fly back to Belgium on Friday.
I left 7 sweaters/T-shirts in Tadoussac 😕. Would anyone happen to be going there this weekend and then heading back to Montreal? To pick them up and meet me somewhere?
We’re heading to Quebec in just over a week to meet up with our son, a young adult on a Working Holiday Visa who’s been there for nearly a year 🙂🙂🙂 and I still have a few questions:
1) We’re starting with 3 nights near Shawinigan (Lac à la Tortue). The day after we arrive, we’ll have a relaxed day with one or two activities (sugar shack in St-Mathieu-du-Parc? A seaplane ride?). Any other suggestions? (Besides Parc de la Mauricie, which we’ll visit the next day.)
2) Then, we’ll head to Quebec City via the Chemin du Roy, where we’ll spend 3 nights, followed by a scenic drive to La Malbaie. We’ll be staying in St-Aimé-des-Lacs near Hautes-Gorges de la Malbaie National Park for another 3 nights. One day will be dedicated to hiking in the park—likely the Acropole des Draveurs for our son, and the Riverain trail plus two shorter walks for my husband and me, since he can’t use hiking poles. So, I’m unsure about the second day: should we go back to the park for the cruise, or do something else nearby? Any suggestions?
3) After St-Aimé-des-Lacs, we’ll spend 3 nights in Tadoussac. We’ll definitely stop at Port-au-Persil, but since the drive isn’t too long, we’ll arrive pretty quickly (I think you say "rendu" here 😉). I was thinking of exploring Tadoussac that day, doing the Pointe de l’Islet trail, the Estuary trail, and the Dunes lookout.
The second day, we’d head toward Les Bergeronnes and Les Escoumins to visit the interpretation center and take a Zodiac cruise. I was considering Neptune because they offer covered boats. Any other options?
And on the third day, we’d go to Sainte-Rose-du-Nord via the Saguenay Fjord National Park’s Baie Sainte-Marguerite sector to hike part of the "Le Fjord" trail from the Beluga Observation Center. I’m aware this trail requires a park access fee. However, I just realized that the trails we planned for the first day (Estuary and Pointe de l’Islet) are also part of the Tadoussac sector of the park. Do we need to pay the access fee (10.10 CAD) for these two short trails? If so, it might make sense to do them on the third day. In that case, can we pay the fee in Tadoussac, then head to the Baie Sainte-Marguerite sector and use the same ticket?
Hi there,
My partner and I are planning a trip with our two kids to see whales this summer in Canada. We’ve got two options: Tadoussac or the Bay of Fundy in Saint Andrews. We’ll be there at the end of July.
Could you let me know if one spot is better than the other? Especially in terms of how likely we are to actually see the whales.
Thanks in advance, and have a great day!
Bruno
Hi everyone! We’re nearing the end of our trip and have 3 nights in Quebec City. What are your must-try spots for a good poutine? Our previous attempts haven’t gone well, and where’s the best place to buy souvenirs that actually scream "Quebec"? Also, what are your top picks for sights and walks? We’re thinking Old Quebec, Lévis, and Montmorency Falls. We’ll be there for 3 nights but only have 2 full days. Thanks in advance for your ideas!
Hello,
We (a couple aged 60 and 66) are arriving in Montreal on 09/21 to meet up with our son (on a working holiday). Our original plan was to spend the first 3 nights near Parc de la Mauricie, then 3 nights in Quebec City, and the following 3 near Parc des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Malbaie. The 2 days we’d planned in each park were supposed to be for hiking (including the Acropole des Draveurs) and canoeing if possible.
The issue is that I’ve recently developed frozen shoulder (capsulitis😕), and I likely won’t have recovered by the time we leave. So, we’re scrapping hikes with significant elevation gain, trekking poles, or any risk of falling.
My question is: which hikes of 10–15 km max on easy terrain with beautiful views would you recommend? (We’ll be there in late September, hoping to catch the fall colors already!). For this type of hike, would it be better to swap Parc de la Mauricie for Réserve faunique des Laurentides, Parc de la Jacques-Cartier, or is Mauricie still okay? And should we replace Parc des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Malbaie with Parc des Grands-Jardins?
Are there spots easier than others for canoeing (I could get in the canoe with my son, but he’d be the only one paddling—I’m light, and he’s strong, but I don’t want to overdo it 😉). Or maybe pedal boats, if that’s still an option this season?
Thanks for your advice after these unexpected changes of plans.
Claire
If I want to take a seaplane tour... is it necessarily around Mauricie, or do you have other spots to recommend?
If I want to see whales... it's around Grandes-Bergeronnes from land.
If I want to see belugas... it's around Baie-Sainte-Catherine.
If I want to see seals... where is it?
If I want to see moose... it's in Gaspésie.
If I want to see bears... it's around Saint-Jean-des-Piles on the banks of the St. Maurice River.
If I want to visit the Museum of First Peoples' Civilizations... where is it?
If I want to go canoeing... it's around Lac de la Mauricie or Mont-Tremblant.
If I want to see a beautiful waterfall, it's Montmorency Falls.
If I want to eat the best poutine, where is it?
Just to remind you, my round trip is: Montreal – Mauricie – Lac Saint-Jean – Tadoussac – Gaspésie – Charlevoix – Quebec City... but I'm really hesitating between Montreal, Mauricie, Charlevoix, Quebec City, the Saguenay Fjord, Lac Saint-Jean, Tadoussac, the Gaspésie ferry, and back to Montreal.
Thank you for your valuable tips—I’m taking notes! If you have other suggestions, as well as restaurants and accommodations along the way, I’d really appreciate it!
Hello,
We’ll be arriving in Montreal on Sunday, September 21st for a Quebec road trip. Do you have any car rental agencies to recommend (or avoid)? A favorite search engine? Are all agencies open on Sundays? Should we book the car in advance? And finally, is there still a Voyage Forum discount code with Hertz, like there used to be? I know, that’s a lot of questions , thanks for answering them! 🙂
Claire
