A must Parcours des Anses

One of the most beautiful bike paths in America!

Bordering the majestic St. Lawrence River, this multifunctional trail offers a 15 km corridor for walking, cycling or in-line skating.

Along the way, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of bridges, the fortifications of Quebec, Château Frontenac, Île d’Orléans and Chute Montmorency.

 15 km along the St. Lawrence River

Practicing your favorite sport has never been so wonderful! For those who want to do more, there’s also a looping route via the Québec Bridge, Promenade Samuel-De-Champlain and the Québec-Lévis ferry. On your bikes!

Not to be missed

Enjoy the best view with both feet in the water

For relaxation, picnics and refreshment in a unique setting, the Quai Paquet fountain is the ideal public place to stop during a bike ride. It’s also a memorable tête-à-tête with the Château Frontenac.

Continue on the Parc de la Rivière-Etchemin bike path

An out-and-back trail that adds another 5 km to your outing. But 5 km of curves, climbs and descents along the Etchemin River are sure to take your breath away.

Stop off at the Maison natale de Louis Fréchette

Enjoy a musical or poetic performance in the garden. Or to learn more about the man of letters Louis Fréchette, the Quebec poet and playwright who grew up here.
