Quebec Biking 6 Days
Breathtaking in Every LanguageWorlds both old and new meet in Québec. From cosmopolitan Montréal to history-rich Québec City (by way of the Eastern Townships, a Loyalist enclave of beautiful woodland biking), the synthesis is seamless. United by bike, we’ll sample Canada’s most European of provinces through its cheeses, wines, sparkling lakes and charming city streets. In Montréal, we’ll ride the downtown’s network of “green alleyways” and lively squares. Then, with the St. Lawrence River guiding the way, we’ll visit the historic battlefields of the Plains of Abraham and take in glimpses of Old Québec in all its fortified, UNESCO-protected glory before resting up at a world-class auberge with history in its walls. Same province, different worlds.
