The Itinerary
Route 138 West from Quebec City follows the north shore of the St. Lawrence through a succession of villages that have preserved their old character. Donnacona, a former paper mill town, and Cap-Santé with its exceptional heritage site are the key stops.
Cap-Santé is one of Quebec's best-preserved villages: its 18th-century village core, church, cemetery and stone houses form a unique architectural ensemble. The view of the St. Lawrence from the cemetery is one of Quebec's finest.
