Quebec Biking, Canada ~ Butterfield and Robinson · Biking and Walking Since 1966

Activity Level: M
Start / Finish: Montréal / Québec City

Breathtaking in Every Language

Worlds 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 along the famously picturesque Lachine Canal. 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.

		Hôtel le St-James, Montréal This five-star luxury property opened in 2002 and is housed in a converted historic Merchant’s Bank (circa 1870) amidst the cobblestone streets of Old Montréal. Le St-James has consistently been voted one of Condé Nast Traveler’s Top 50 Hot Hotels in North America.
		Manoir Hovey, North Hatley This elegant property was a private summer residence before being converted to a hotel just after the American Civil War. Tucked away at the northern end of Lake Massawippi and mere minutes from the galleries, antique shops and cafés of North Hatley, the Manor has just achieved R&C status.
		Auberge Saint-Antoine, Québec City Travel + Leisure voted Auberge Saint-Antoine one of its Top 100 Best Hotels on the Planet, while Condé Nast Traveler hailed it as “Canada’s Best.” This 94-room hotel, built along the historically significant St. Lawrence River, doubles as an archaeological museum, with artifacts thoughtfully incorporated into its design. In the heart of Québec City’s Old Port, we’ll enjoy rooms that meld Quebec traditions with modern amenities.
