Charlevoix, Quebec and Beyond
My wife and I are planning to ride along the St. Lawrence beyond Quebec City in June 2010. I previously have ridden the south side of the St. Lawrence to Gaspe. This trip is on the north side. Rider Magazine just had an article about the Charlevoix region. Any tips on which roads to take and those to avoid would be appreciated. Sight seeing advice, dining spots, etc. are also welcome. Thanks.

Go North to Chicoutemi through Parc De La Jaques Cartier. Go East on North side of Parc De Saguenay. North East as far as you want to go along the Coast. Whale watching is very popular. Go out on the hard bottom inflatables, fast and a lot of fun.

If you are around Quebec city you should catch one show of the annual fireworks competition. They are set at a waterfall " Chute Montmorency" just north of Quebec City. We had never been to one and the USA was having there kick at the cat the day after we were going to head out. We found a spot at a camping area to pitch our tent and stayed another day to watch the show. The setting at the falls, the music and the fireworks, WHAT A SHOW!!! That was in 08 we went for a tour there and we will not miss a chance to go to another one if we are anywhere close. Enjoy your trip, we did.

Basic French will help, but they've got a strange accent up there!
