In the heart of the Chaudière-Appalaches region, the Route des Navigateurs runs along the river for more than 200 km, passing through villages, gourmet stops, and landscapes that make you want to truly slow down. And when the call of the open sea beckons again, the route continues on to Centre-du-Québec or the Bas-Saint-Laurent.

Let’s be honest: La Chaudière-Appalaches is serious business when it comes to food. Rustic dining right at the producers’ farms. Sturgeon caught at dawn by Donald. Our golden nectar to pour without restraint. Blueberries by the ton (yes, yes, not just in Saguenay). Gourmet snacks that’ll have you licking your fingers. Goat cheese aged like a fine wine…

This is a place to truly experience—and savor—for real.
