The Itinerary

Rawdon is a perpetual surprise for Quebecers. This Lanaudière village, just 30 km from Joliette, has been home for generations to an eclectic international population — Hungarians, Jamaicans, Poles — giving it a unique character.

The Cascades des Américains on the Ouareau River are the highlight: several tiered falls with natural swimming pools, surrounded by forest. The Saint-Côme caves nearby round out the day.
