The 12 Beauceron Miracles

01  Véloroute de la Chaudière

The Founding Valley

On foot or by bike, admire the 146 km of scenery along the Véloroute de la Chaudière! In the valley, villages follow one another to the rhythm of the river and the hills. Along the way, take the opportunity to rest at one of our 3 rest areas.


02  Domaine Taschereau - Parc Nature

The Great Debacles

Test your ability to help others in the heart of Quebec’s most flood-prone park! When adversity strikes, when nature rebels, the Beaucerons resist. Their secret? Solidarity, empathy and resilience. Will you have the soul of a true Beauceron?


03  Maison J.-A. Vachon

Les p’tits gâteaux Vachon

Come and put your flair to the test! Few people can claim to have cooked for an entire nation. To have invented recipes so tasty that they have transcended time for 100 years. But that’s what this Beauce family has done with p’tits gâteaux Vachon.


04  Musée de l'aviation

The inexhaustible maple

Drink from Beauce’s very first maple tree! In the heart of the maple grove lives this tree so powerful, so lively that it flows all year round. Tapping it, tapping it, boiling its sap and tasting its by-products: it has taken root in a whole nation of proud sugar makers.


05  Musée ferroviaire de Beauce

The junction of the Saints

Between Sainte-Marie, Saint-Joseph and under Saints-Anges: would you believe in Miracles? Here, at the Saints junction, anything is possible. The stationmaster’s feat is proof of that. Follow in his footsteps to relive his story.


06  Marius B. Musée

The energy of a people

Soak up the distinctive energy of the Beaucerons! Like the people here, the region’s foundation stone has stood tall, strong and resilient for 300 years. Even today, it radiates all the vitality of the people. Capture that warmth for yourself.


07  Ensemble institutionnel de Saint-Joseph-de-Beauce

Monumental heritage

Stroll through the streets of the city centre, guardians of history. United and protected against the devastating effects of time, 5 buildings are real gems, reflecting a bygone era. Take a fresh look at this architectural ensemble?


08  Parc des Rapides du Diable

The gold rush

Take part in the famous gold rush! Join the many optimists who flocked to the region in search of Benedict Arnold’s treasure. Who knows, maybe you’ll be the one to land the ultimate gold nugget?


09  Pont couvert Perreault

The indestructible link

Roll up your sleeves and show your tenacity in the rail slider challenge! Like the strong man of the Beauce, measure your legendary determination, your relentlessness and your titanic power. Will you succeed?


10  Parc des Sept-Chutes

The Blacks Hocks

Enter the legend of the Black Hocks! But why does this term stick so quickly to the Beaucerons? The Giant and his famous immaculate boots will give you the answer! Can you measure up to his shoe size?


11  Domaine de la Seigneurie

The entrepreneurial empire

Can you find the key to Beauce knowledge? By dreaming without limits, entrepreneurs shine across borders, arouse the envy of the world’s greatest and make local people proud. Drive, perseverance, audacity: these are the keys to unlocking the mystery of entrepreneurship.


12  Centre multi-arts et Podium Papal

The sacred construction

Are you up for a challenge? The bigger, more surprising and extravagant the project, the more motivated the Beaucerons. Just imagine when the Pope himself orders the construction of a podium directly linked to the Almighty! Connect yourself to the heavens for a moment!
