Looking for quiet roads, scenic bike paths, and a hearty dose of Quebecois charm? Our Lac Saint-Jean tour offers all that — and plenty of blueberries too.

This week-long adventure begins in historic Quebec City before heading north to circle the majestic Lac Saint-Jean. You’ll ride through peaceful forests, past sandy beaches, and along one of Canada’s most celebrated bike trails: the Véloroute des Bleuets. With dedicated cycling paths, charming towns, and the ever-present lake at your side.

Each day brings something new: ride through Pointe Taillon National Park or visit the immersive Zoo Sauvage de Saint-Félicien, one of the country’s best wildlife experiences. You’ll also have time to explore waterfalls, caves, and the fascinating ghost town of Val-Jalbert, where you’ll spend two nights.

Expect friendly hospitality, fresh local cuisine, and that wonderful rhythm of life that only comes when you’re exploring by bike. Whether you’re chasing new adventures or just want to slow down and soak up the scenery, this tour delivers a perfect balance of quiet bike paths and memorable scenery.
