The Itinerary

Sorel-Tracy, at the mouth of the Richelieu on the St. Lawrence, is one of Canada's oldest cities (1672). Its archipelago of over 100 islands is a recognized canoeing and hunting destination.

The Sorel Islands (Île Saint-Ours, Île Ronde) form a maze of wooded channels inhabited by herons, otters and deer. The tradition of smoked eel from Sainte-Anne-de-Sorel is a regional dish found nowhere else.
