Vol Québec-Tunisie à petit prix? English translation pending
Bonjour,Je suis une voyageuse québécoise partant en août pour 3 mois en Australie. Avant de m’y rendre, je désirerais passer une semaine en Tunisie. Je recherche des vols à prix avantageux. M’étant informée auprès de quelques agences au Québec, les frais de ces vols sont très élevés (aux environs de 3500$). Connaîtriez-vous des agences québécoises habiletées dans l’organisation de ces voyages un peu moins standard?
Je serais aussi intéressée par les offres de différentes agences françaises (Opodo, Promovacances, Anyway…) mais n'étant pas ressortissante française, je me demande s’il est possible de faire affaire avec celles-ci quand même. Si oui, quelle est la façon de procéder?
Je vous remercie à l'avance de votre intérêt.🙂

😏bonjour à tous,
nous allons effectuer un séjour de 3 semaines au Québec et nous avons loué un camping car; nous avons prévu d'effectuer une "boucle":
Montréal, Trois-rivière, le lac Saint-Jean, Sainte-Rose, Tadoussac, ... est-il intéressant de rmonter + au nord?,
Charlevois, Québec,

et retour par le sud du saint Laurent à Montréal.
L'ordre des étapes est-il pertinant ?

Je vous remercie pour votre aide

Tips for a trip to Quebec: meeting locals and transportation
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
Last-minute travel costs to Quebec early summer 2026
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
Mosquitoes in Quebec in the summer
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
Feedback on 15-day Quebec itinerary
Hi there, I’m heading to Quebec from 08/07/26 to 08/21/26 with my wife and our two sons, aged 8 and 10. I’m sharing my itinerary below—if you have any suggestions or feedback, I’d love to hear it!
Day 1: Arrival in Montreal on Friday, August 7th around 2 PM (it’s also one of my sons’ 8th birthday!). We’ll head to Westmount via public transit or taxi to pick up our Airbnb.
Day 2 & 3: Exploring Montreal.
Day 4: Picking up our rental car (not yet booked, but likely with Hertz via BSP Auto). We’ll explore the area around Montreal and then head to Montebello for the night.
Day 5: Visit to Parc Omega, staying overnight in Montebello (Airbnb).
Day 6: Heading to Shawinigan, possibly catching an evening show at Cité de l’Énergie. I’ve spotted Motel Auberge Pique-Nique for the night.
Day 7: Mauricie National Park. Overnight in Shawinigan.
Day 8: Heading to Lac Saint-Jean. I’ve looked into the Village Historique Val-Jalbert, but many say there are better options for visiting an old village, like the Village Québécois d’Antan near Quebec City. We’ll stay somewhere around the lake.
Day 9: Day around the lake, then overnight in Saguenay. FYI, August 15th is a holiday in Quebec (like in France), so some places might be busier or closed.
Day 10: Heading to Tadoussac. Staying overnight at the youth hostel to meet other travelers.
Day 11: Day in Tadoussac—whale watching and a guided forest excursion to see bears. Another night in Tadoussac.
Day 12: Heading to Quebec City, possibly stopping at Montmorency Falls along the way. We’ll pick up our Airbnb along the St. Lawrence River, not far from the aquarium.
Day 13 & 14: Exploring Quebec City and its surroundings.
Day 15: Returning to Montreal to catch our flight in the late afternoon.
I’ve tried to stay in the same place for two nights in a row for logistical reasons—it’s easier with kids. So far, only the Airbnbs are booked. For the rest, motels seem like the most budget-friendly option. I’d also love to find B&Bs with meals included, like Gîtes de France, but I’m not sure if that’s a thing here—I’m struggling to find options.
Don’t hesitate to let me know if this itinerary seems too packed. I’ve been mindful of the distances, but unfortunately, we can’t do everything, so we’ve had to make some tough choices.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can chime in!

Quebec road trip: questions about travel distances and accommodation prices
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?
Have a great evening! !

Summer Loop in Quebec with Family
Hi,
Part of the family is Canadian, and we usually go there every two years. We’ve already visited quite a bit, but since the family is in New Brunswick, we’ve never really explored Quebec (aside from the two main cities). I’m starting to plan a new little loop for late July 2026 to finally enjoy Quebec a bit more. We’re aiming for about ten days before heading to NB.
Here’s a first draft: Montreal (1 night) Mauricie National Park (1 night) Lac Saint-Jean via Route 155 (2 nights for the zoo and the historic village) Saguenay Fjord National Park (1 night) Then two options to get down to Quebec City: A- Jacques-Cartier National Park via Route 175 B- Tadoussac, then down the St. Lawrence River
We have an 11-year-old and plan to do some hikes. Driving doesn’t bother us, but we also want to take the time to explore. The traditional whale-watching cruise in Tadoussac isn’t planned this time since we’ve already seen whales in Saint Andrews, NB, during our last trip.
Does the itinerary seem reasonable? Which option is nicer for getting down to Quebec City? Is there anything we shouldn’t miss on this loop?
Thanks for your tips! Victor

Feedback on Quebec itinerary in September-October
Hello,
I need some advice because I can't decide on an itinerary. We're going to join our son around September 20th, who's spending a year in Canada on a working holiday visa. I did the classic Quebec loop over 30 years ago, so I’m ruling out the Saguenay Fjord and Lac Saint-Jean right away. Here are the stops (overnights) I’ve tentatively planned:
D1-2-3: Quebec City D4: Malbaie Gorges National Park via Routes 360 and 362 D5: Malbaie Gorges National Park (fishing and canoeing) D6: Tadoussac (walks and whale watching from the shore, hiking up to Cap du Bon Désir) D7: Whale-watching zodiac excursion – ferry – Bic National Park D8: Bic National Park D9: Carleton-sur-Mer via the Matapedia Valley D10: Percé D11: Percé (Bonaventure Island excursion) D12: Forillon National Park D13: Forillon National Park D14: Sainte-Anne-des-Monts via Route 132 D15: Sainte-Anne-des-Monts (Gaspésie National Park) D16: Kamouraska D17: Quebec City D18-19-20: Montreal
I feel like one night in Tadoussac is too short. Wouldn’t it be better to add another night there and only spend one night in Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, skipping Gaspésie National Park? Just to clarify, we love nature and hiking but limit ourselves to about 10 km per day.
Also, I’m wondering about the distances (even though I tried to keep them reasonable), the short stops (max 2 nights except in Quebec City and Montreal, so not much time to settle in), and the weather in Gaspésie in late September-October (my husband doesn’t handle the cold well). Maybe it’d be better to only go as far as Bic National Park, then head back, and add more nights at Malbaie Gorges National Park (I didn’t stay in a park on my first trip, and my son, who got his fishing license, would be proud to bring us dinner 😊), Tadoussac, and maybe around Bic/Rimouski?
One last detail: the plan is to land in Quebec City, rent a car on D4, return it on D17, and take the train or bus to Montreal the next day, where we’ll catch our flight 4 days later. This is to cut down on rental costs and avoid having a car in Quebec City.
Thanks for reading this far—I hope I can count on your advice! 😊

Family itinerary in Quebec in July: tips for finalizing the last leg after Parc du Bic
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
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

Gaspésie / Quebec / Canada Road Trip - August 2025
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

Travel tips for Québec / Toronto.
Hi everyone,
We’re planning to head to Québec on June 11th (departing from CDG) and return around July 3rd, leaving from Toronto—so about 3 weeks there, traveling by rental car.
We’re thinking of stopping in Ottawa to visit a friend.
We’d love to see the "must-see" spots, but not *too* many, along with nature, parks, some short hikes, canoeing, a seaplane ride, and wrapping up with Niagara Falls.
Do you think we can fit all that into the time we have?
What are the spots you’d recommend not missing along our route?
Is a short trip to Gaspésie at the start of our trip worth considering?
Anyway, as you’ve probably guessed, we’re still in the early planning stages and aren’t quite sure how to organize everything 🤪
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice!

Algeria Visa from Quebec
Hi,
Has anyone had recent experience applying for a tourist visa to Algeria from Quebec, specifically at the consulate in Montreal?
How long does it take? The consulate’s website says 2 to 3 weeks. Is that accurate?
Is it possible to apply by mail? A travel agency told me it’s unrealistic.
What’s the maximum number of days you’ve been granted?
Thanks,
Pierre Racine

Family trip to Quebec: checking our itinerary
Hi everyone,
We’re heading out as a family from July 2nd to 16th on a loop from Montreal to Montreal. We’re a couple with a little girl who’ll be turning 7 in July, plus my in-laws (one of whom uses a wheelchair).
Here’s our itinerary:
Wednesday, July 2: Arrival in Montreal in the early afternoon – picking up the car at the airport – exploring the city and overnight in Montreal Thursday, July 3: Montreal – overnight in Montreal Friday, July 4: Visit to Parc Omega – overnight in Saint-Jérôme Saturday, July 5: Heading to Trois-Rivières – visit to a sugar shack (Chez Dany? or another name?) – exploring the old town – overnight in Trois-Rivières Sunday, July 6: Shawinigan – Le Village du Bûcheron in Grandes-Piles? – black bear watching (probably not doable for wheelchair users, I think?!) – overnight in Trois-Rivières Monday, July 7: Heading to Chicoutimi – Saguenay – day at Lac Saint-Jean / Val-Jabert – overnight in Saguenay Tuesday, July 8: L’Anse-Saint-Jean – Saguenay Fjord National Park – overnight in Saguenay Wednesday, July 9: Tadoussac – exploring the area and the town – overnight in Tadoussac Thursday, July 10: Whale watching – Baie-Sainte-Catherine – overnight in Tadoussac Friday, July 11: La Malbaie – Baie-Saint-Paul – overnight on Île aux Coudres Saturday, July 12: Exploring the area? – overnight on Île aux Coudres Sunday, July 13: Montmorency Falls – overnight in Quebec City Monday, July 14: Quebec City – overnight in Quebec City Tuesday, July 15: Quebec City and return to Montreal – overnight in Beloeil Wednesday, July 16: Montreal – evening flight
We’ve booked our rooms to ensure a wheelchair-accessible room is available. When searching on Expedia or Booking, few hotels have rooms with a shower accessible for wheelchairs (so a real PMR room). However, these are cancelable, so if something really stands out, I’m all ears 😉.
We’ve booked our car through BSP Auto and we’re flying with Air Transat.
Thanks for any feedback and tips for the visits.
See you soon 🙂 Jennifer

Wednesday, July 2: Arrival in Montreal in the early afternoon – picking up the car at the airport – exploring the city and overnight in Montreal Thursday, July 3: Montreal – overnight in Montreal Friday, July 4: Visit to Parc Omega – overnight in Saint-Jérôme Saturday, July 5: Heading to Trois-Rivières – visit to a sugar shack (Chez Dany? or another name?) – exploring the old town – overnight in Trois-Rivières Sunday, July 6: Shawinigan – Le Village du Bûcheron in Grandes-Piles? – black bear watching (probably not doable for wheelchair users, I think?!) – overnight in Trois-Rivières Monday, July 7: Heading to Chicoutimi – Saguenay – day at Lac Saint-Jean / Val-Jabert – overnight in Saguenay Tuesday, July 8: L’Anse-Saint-Jean – Saguenay Fjord National Park – overnight in Saguenay Wednesday, July 9: Tadoussac – exploring the area and the town – overnight in Tadoussac Thursday, July 10: Whale watching – Baie-Sainte-Catherine – overnight in Tadoussac Friday, July 11: La Malbaie – Baie-Saint-Paul – overnight on Île aux Coudres Saturday, July 12: Exploring the area? – overnight on Île aux Coudres Sunday, July 13: Montmorency Falls – overnight in Quebec City Monday, July 14: Quebec City – overnight in Quebec City Tuesday, July 15: Quebec City and return to Montreal – overnight in Beloeil Wednesday, July 16: Montreal – evening flight
We’ve booked our rooms to ensure a wheelchair-accessible room is available. When searching on Expedia or Booking, few hotels have rooms with a shower accessible for wheelchairs (so a real PMR room). However, these are cancelable, so if something really stands out, I’m all ears 😉.
We’ve booked our car through BSP Auto and we’re flying with Air Transat.
Thanks for any feedback and tips for the visits.
See you soon 🙂 Jennifer
Two weeks in Quebec with a focus on hiking
Hi there, I’m really struggling to plan our two-week trip to Quebec. Our goal is to prioritize hiking for at least a week, but I could really use your help. Which parks should we prioritize? Thanks in advance!
Local agency in Quebec that accepts pre-routing
Hello,
Happy to see VoyageForum "back in action" again, and even though I know my post is a bit off-topic, I’ll give it a shot anyway:
We’re a group of four looking to take an organized trip to Canada at the end of September/beginning of October 2025, starting from Quebec. These kinds of tours exist, but our main issue is that local agencies don’t handle pre-routing from France, which is a deal-breaker for us.
Of course, we’re not at all opposed to traveling in a (small) group.
Thanks for your replies and any leads you might have.
Exploring Quebec
I love barns. The ones with bright, cheerful colors, the ones whose wood is so old it’s turned completely gray, the ones that are restored, the ones that are run-down… You come across a thousand and one no matter which road you take, and every single one of them has one thing in common: they lean! Is it the weight of the years, the weight of the snow, or the wind that makes them so wobbly? Whatever the reason, it gives them a charm that utterly enchants me.
I love lighthouses. They’re small, often all curves and colors. Do they really serve as landmarks for sailors? I think they’re more useful to seals or whales—and even more so to birds, which make them their favorite meet-up spots. Either way, they have a wonderfully easygoing look that I love.
I love houses. Not just any houses: the ones decked out like Christmas trees all year round. Usually, they’re spruced up, looking just as cheerful under snow as they do covered in flowers and little figurines on the lawn, always decorated with those strings of lights wrapped around them. Is it true they help lost travelers find their way during a snowstorm? And in summer? Is it just for looks? Either way, they have a totally kitschy vibe that delights me.
I love roads. The ones that hide in endless forests, the ones that play hide-and-seek with rivers, the ones so straight you can see forever, the ones that go up and down like a rollercoaster, the ones that burst with autumn colors, that sparkle under the snow, that vanish into the fog, the ones that cross villages, that cross meadows, that run along the shores of the St. Lawrence. I love lonely roads, peaceful roads, the ones where you drive while listening to Janis Joplin and Tom Waits… What if we just kept going? Always farther, never stopping…
But I also love the people! The people with big smiles and laughing eyes. The people who come up to us as soon as they hear our accent. And who talk—sometimes so fast and with words we don’t know that it takes a while to understand. And then there’s that kindness in a café or a shop: “Hello there, sweetheart, what can I get you?” “Welcome, if you need help, just call me,” and so on… I love it, yes, I love it. I struggle *so* much with the Québécois accent (laugh), but I figured out a trick: you have to open your mouth wide and twist your lips a little, and it works pretty well! Laugh again… I love you, my Québécois friends…

17-day itinerary: Québec, Gaspésie, and Saguenay
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

Three weeks in Quebec at the start of summer 2018, on a "semi-organized" trip
I’ve been putting off posting my Quebec travel experience for a long time. Two years later, I’ve finally decided to share it. The memories are still vivid. I hope this gives you the urge to visit this beautiful region, which I literally fell in love with.
We’re traveling as four adults: my brother Guy, my sister-in-law Martine, my friend Pascal, and myself (Christian).
We entrusted the flight, hotel, and car reservations to the travel agency Amplitudes in Toulouse. Planning the day-to-day activities was up to us. We scheduled a few must-see visits, but for the rest, we’d figure it out on the spot.
Our itinerary: Quebec City / Rimouski / Carleton-sur-Mer / Percé / Sainte-Anne-des-Monts / Matane / Tadoussac / Sainte-Rose-du-Nord / Chambord / Saint-Alexis-des-Monts / Montreal
06/25 Here we are at Roissy Charles de Gaulle for the usual pre-flight formalities. Everything goes smoothly and quickly. The hardest part is waiting for takeoff. After an uneventful flight on an Air Canada Boeing 777-300ER, we land at Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport (YUL) in the early afternoon.

At customs, a surprise—no grumpy officer, but a smiling customs agent who jokingly asks me to name three tourist spots in Quebec, or else he won’t let me in. I pass the test easily and enter Quebec!
We head to the Alamo counter at Trudeau Airport to pick up our car: a Ford Escape with only 300 kilometers on the odometer.

We decided to head straight to Quebec City, saving Montreal for the end of the trip. Pascal takes the wheel and gets on the Trans-Canada Highway E20 for a 255 km drive, taking about 2 hours and 45 minutes. With the time difference, we’re already feeling hungry, so we stop for our first poutine at a highway restaurant.

When we arrive in Quebec City, we go straight to the Clarendon Hotel, located right in the heart of Old Quebec. We’ll be staying there for three nights. Tonight, no restaurant—just a short walk around the hotel before bed. We discover a square with pretty colored water fountains near the city hall.
It’s only 9 PM, but our body clocks say it’s 3 AM.

Bonjour à tous!
Je vous expose mon problème! Mon vol Bruxelles-Montréal du 26 juin est toujours maintenu (avec Brussel airlines). Je suis canadienne résidant en Belgique. Je partais pour 2 mois avec mon fils. J'ai un passeport canadien, lui belge. Advenant le cas où le Belgique ouvre les frontières hors UE (une décision devrait être prise le 7 juin), pensez vous qu'il serait possible d'entrer au Canada. J'ai lu que les voyageurs ayant de la famille citoyenne canadienne pourrait faire partis des execptions... mais bon... J'ai un endroit pour me confiner 14 jours et je peux fournir les noms et numéros de téléphone des gens qui pourront intervenir pour "m'aider" durant cette quarantaine(course, trajet aéroport...) la raison pour laquelle j'hésite, c'est qu'il est pour le moment impossible de communiquer avec Brussel airlines et les modifications de billets ne peuvent se faire qu'au téléphone. J'ai accepté leur offre de modification de billet ( départ 3h plus tard que prevu). Et pas d'autre nouvelle depuis, bref le temps passe... je sais que c'est vraiment pas idéal comme période pour partir, mais j'ai peur de tout simplement perdre mes billets si jamais ce vol n'est pas annulé par la compagnie. Quelqu'un a une idée d'un endroit au Canada ou en Belgique ou je pourrais avoir des renseignements sûrs? Merci! Et courage a tous!

Observation d'animaux polaires au nord du Québec English translation pending
Hello les voyageurs et/ou les Québécois.
Passionnée par la faune sauvage c'est l'une de mes principales motivations pour voyager. Je vais bientôt démarrée un voyage de 2 ans au Canada, ce pays sauvage et j'aimerais beaucoup me rendre au nord du Québec pour observer des animaux polaires, principalement phoques annelés, phoques barbus et phoques du Groenland et loirs polaire serait le sirop d'érable sur la cerise sur le gâteau!
Mais j'ai beaucoup de mal à trouver des informations, des prix etc. Est ce que c'est possible sans y laisser tout son comte en banque? Sans être au milieu d'une horde de touristes ? J'aimerais avoir une expérience authentique près des gens qui vivent dans ces régions.
Au départ de n'importe où, disponible à partir de septembre/octobre avec un véhicule.
Waterfront Trail Québec - Niagara Falls à vélo English translation pending
Bonjour,
Nous espérons pouvoir partir en Juin 2021 comme prévu pour un périple Canada / Usa.
La 1ère partie serait : Quebec / Niagara Falls puis Chicago
Si vous avez roulé sur cette route, pouvez vous m'apportez différentes informations, intérêt, difficulté, campings ou bivouac, distance...
Petit à petit, nous préparons ce "grand voyage" de 3 mois mais avec toujours des incertitudes concernant la situation sanitaire. Croisons les doigts, espérons que tout s'arrangera plus ou moins rapidement.
Merci à vous. Olivier

Road trip au Québec au départ de Montréal en juin et location de voiture English translation pending
Bonjour à tous,
Je pars à Quebec en Juin du 14 au 26 avec ma copine et j'ai pour objectif de faire ce trip en voiture :
- Montreal (14/06 - 13h to 17/06 - 7h) - Mauricie park (17/06 - 7h to 19/06 - 13h) - Tadoussac / Baie st Catherine (19/06 - 13h to 21/06 - 7h) - Fjord of Saguenay + saint jean lake (21/06 - 7h to 23/06 - 13h) - Quebec City (23/06 - 13h to 26/06 - 7h) - Montreal (26/06 - 7h to 13h)
Ces horaires ne prennent pas en compte les temps de trajets.
Je compte louer un véhicule à partir du 16/06 à 17h environ, car à Montréal je pourrais utiliser le métro et le bus. Je suis à la recherche d'un loueur de véhicule sans avoir un prix exorbitant. J'aimerais ne pas dépasser 400€ pour la location de 13 jours.
Après plusieurs recherche et avis de connaissance, j'ai été redirigé vers "Discount" et "Canadian Affair" qui travaille avec "Avis". Je cherche à obtenir des avis de personnes ayant loué avec ces compagnies ou d'autres peut être ?
Canadian Affair m'a été très recommandé sur Trip ad Visor, pour 320€ je peux avoir une chevrollet Spark avec une assurance complète (fully Inclusive insurance). Et Avis est une compagnie assez réputé. Discount, des amies sur Montréal nous l'ont conseillé, mais les avis sont pas tous top.
Est-ce que des personnes ont déjà loué avec une de ces compagnies ?
Merci
