Hi there, I’m looking for a hiking guide for Quebec (Laurentides, Gaspésie, Saguenay). Do you know any professionals for one or more of these regions? This is for September 2025. Thanks in advance!

Hi there, I’m looking for 1 or 2 people who’d like to hike in two regions of Quebec: the Laurentians and Gaspésie/Charlevoix/Saguenay. I’ve got my flight tickets. I’m coming from France. I’d love to hike in national parks and other trails. For accommodations: camping, simple lodging, or staying with locals. No big hotels. We can split the two periods into shorter weeks, like Monday to Friday, if you’re only available for part of my stay. A quick intro about me: I hike often throughout the year, I’m part of the CAF (French Alpine Club), which organizes hikes of all difficulty levels, with respect for nature and safety rules. I travel with trekking organizations. I’m pretty open-minded, enthusiastic, and I love sharing trails and experiences. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thanks.

hi everyone! I’d like to visit Montreal and the surrounding areas in August, and I’ve got 3 weeks of vacation. I’m traveling alone and will be visiting my daughter, who recently moved there. She’ll be working and only available in the evenings! So I’m torn between spending a week in Montreal, then taking a flight to Cuba, and returning to France from Havana—or staying in Montreal and exploring the nearby areas alone.

For my first idea—going to Cuba—is it feasible in terms of administrative formalities and legality? And for my second idea, is it possible to take buses? If so, is it too expensive? And are there many places served by them?

Thanks for your advice! Jocelyne
