Seasonal Fare: Quebec Biking

A Feast for the Senses in Quebec

Welcomed with a drink Embrace its culture, celebrate its character, savour its history or taste its heritage—however you choose to imbibe, Quebec is forever a revelation. What’s more, it’s an easier escape when that yearning for laidback European living beckons, especially when you opt for B&R’s Quebec Biking trip.

We take you from the sophisticated soul of Montreal, humming with activity and teeming with culinary possibilities, down through the tranquil rolling roads of the Eastern Townships and then onwards to Quebec City where the passionate heart of this region resides with grace and classic cobblestoned beauty.

Pedaling the bucolic countrysideThe allure of pedaling our way through this province—whether along the extensive network of bicycle lanes that crisscross Montreal or the gentle stretches of countryside we’ll traverse—is that we’ll be fueling our appetite for the incredible array of culinary pleasures to enjoy.

Along the way we’ll delve into award-winning fromageries, sample perfect ice wines and slather wood-fired bagels with cream cheese. There are other Quebecois classics to try, like warm sugar pie, tortiere and, naturally, a fresh plate of poutine (French fries, gravy and cheese curds—to carbo-load those afternoon rides). And yes, there are the more refined dining experiences to discover too, as Quebec marries those age-old European culinary traditions with a contemporary twist.

Chapelle Ste-Agnes But there’s more to this journey than just food—this is a land rich with history. Quebec City is one of the hotbeds of European history in North America. We’ll stroll the Plains of Abraham and amble through the Old City in Quebec, a UNESCO World Heritage site that abounds with 17thC architecture, wander around the fortress walls and gaze out on the mighty St. Lawrence River from historic cliff-top buildings.

We’ll even escape by boat to Ile d’Orleans, a picture perfect island half an hour from Quebec City where fruit orchards, wheat fields and wineries thrive amidst the riverside villages and centuries-old maritime cemeteries. It is yet another element of Quebec that will charm and entice you to return again with an appetite for even more adventure.
