The Itinerary

Portneuf is the secret region just west of Quebec City, too often overlooked by travellers in a hurry. Yet its forests, wild rivers and St. Lawrence villages make it a top destination.

Portneuf regional park offers hiking and cross-country ski trails in pristine nature. Nearby Rivière Jacques-Cartier and its national park are a paradise for canoeing, kayaking and salmon fishing.

At Deschambault-Grondines, the St. Lawrence mudflats attract hundreds of migratory birds in spring. Neuville and its apple orchards are unmissable in autumn.
