Hello!

I’m embarking on a long-awaited dream trip—Canada!

For my first visit to this incredible country, I’ve set my sights on Gaspésie and the city of Quebec.

I’m a huge fan of hiking in nature, and I’m also passionate about Canadian history and its diverse cultures, especially the history and cultures of the First Nations. My trip will be a mix of nature and culture.

I’ll be traveling from August 3rd to 24th, flying from Paris to Quebec City.

I’m looking for one or more travel companions (ages 30–40) who are also planning to spend 3 weeks in Gaspésie this summer (unfortunately, my dates aren’t flexible). The idea is to rent a car together and explore this beautiful region! :)

Here’s my rough itinerary (still fine-tuning it): - 08/03: Arrival in Quebec City - 08/04–08/05: Tadoussac and surrounding area - 08/06–08/08: Gaspésie National Park - 08/09–08/11: Gaspé and Forillon National Park + Gespeg First Nation Pow Wow - 08/11–08/12: Percé and surrounding area - 08/13: Bonaventure River - 08/14: Drive around Chaleur Bay and Matapedia - 08/15–08/17: Hike around Cacouna + WOLASTOQIYIK WAHSIPEKUK First Nation Pow Wow - 08/18–08/20: Hike around Rimouski and Bic National Park - 08/20: Return to Quebec City, stopping to visit Kamouraska - 08/20–08/24: Exploring Quebec City and Wendake

Hi there, We’re heading to Quebec from July 7 to 21 with our two kids (ages 5 and 7) and my wife, and we’re putting together an itinerary while keeping some flexibility (though much less than we’d hoped, since we’re realizing accommodations are already filling up fast!). Below is our draft plan—pretty far along since we’ve booked 9 out of 14 nights—but it’s definitely not perfect. We’d love some advice on what to do after Parc du Bic (3 nights to improvise) before heading back to Parc Omega, where we’ve booked a tipi :-) It seems clear that a 3-day Gaspésie loop isn’t doable (too bad about Percé and Parc Forillon, but I think we’re already covering a lot of ground with this route!). But what about the option of driving up to Sainte-Anne-des-Monts to spend a day in Parc de la Gaspésie before the (long) drive back, and still enjoying part of the coastal road, which looks stunning? Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

3 nights in Montreal (booked) Day 1 to 3 – July 7 to 9: Montreal

2 nights near Lac Saint-Charles, 20 min from Quebec City (booked) Day 4 – July 10: Montreal → Montmorency Falls → Quebec City (~3h drive) Day 5 – July 11: Quebec City

2 nights in the Saguenay region (booked) Day 6 – July 12: Quebec City → Baie-Saint-Paul → Canopée Lit (Saguenay), 20 min from Tadoussac Day 7 – July 13: Day in Tadoussac/Les Bergeronnes for a whale-watching excursion, then back toward the Saguenay Fjord for the evening and overnight stay

1 night in Parc du Bic (booked)

Day 8 – July 14: Ferry from Les Escoumins (2 PM) → Trois-Pistoles → Parc du Bic

3 nights to improvise—is it even feasible to go without reservations in July for a family of 4? Day 9 – July 15: Hikes/activities in Parc du Bic – overnight near Cap-Chat/Sainte-Anne-des-Monts??? Other ideas? Day 10 – July 16: Parc de la Gaspésie? Day 11 – July 17: More hikes? Then drive back toward the Mont-Joli area?

1 night at Parc Omega (booked)

Day 12 – July 18: Long drive back from Mont-Joli? Maybe via Kamouraska for a meal break, then overnight at Parc Omega

2 nights near Montreal or surrounding area

Day 13 – July 19: Visit Parc Omega, then a relaxed drive back via scenic routes to Montreal or nearby

Day 14 – July 20: Last day and night in Montreal or the suburbs, fun activities with the kids

Day 15 – July 21: Flight home in the evening

Hi there,

We’re heading to Québec from July 7 to 24, 2025, and we’d love some advice on our itinerary. We’re flying in and out of Montréal and want to visit Montréal, Québec City, Parc de la Gaspésie, and the Saguenay Fjord. What do you think would be the best route to make the most of these spots without racking up too many kilometers each day? Thanks in advance for your help! Catherine
