Adjusted where needed, visited all campgrounds and experienced all selected activities. It has not been my intention to include every single sight or activity along the route. Presented selections are all high quality and fit the itinerary best. The result of my work is this amazing road trip in which travel days are interspersed with sightseeing and outdoor activities. Either print the road book or use it on your mobile device. The latter allows you to open added links and interactive maps when having internet access. Some campgrounds offer WIFI, others not. Cell phone coverage is available along most stretches of the route. Therefore, I advise you to download the maps at home in order to use them offline while on the road. More about offline use of the maps on page is described in the road book. Furthermore, a copy of each map is included as well as important information. Even without internet your road book will be a great tour guide. Please be aware, this road book is not a travel guide. It does not contain information such as Canadian history and culture. If you are interested in background information, it’s best to take an additional travel guide along. HAPPY TRAVELS! Josette Prinsen dba Tourguide Canada https://www.tourguidecanada.com/ Preview Road Book Ontario and Quebec © Tourguide Canada Page 3 Road trip Ontario and Quebec Day 10 A miracle along the St. Lawrence River Today you’ll follow the St. Lawrence River again. Along the route are the extremely popular Montmorency Falls as well as the less crowded and also very scenic 74 m. high waterfalls of Canyon Saint-Anne. A visit to both might be just a little too much, unless you’re a fall-fanatic ;) If you need a miracle of any kind, make sure to stop and pray at the sanctuary shrine of Sainte Anne-de- Beaupré, a famous pilgrimage destination: Many went ahead of you and quite a few prayers have been answered! Time Schedule AM 9 departure 9.30 passing Montmorency Falls 10.00 Sainte Anne-de-Beaupré Basilica 10.15 Canyon Sainte-Anne PM 1.00 Ferry 1.30 Camping Bon-Désir Optional + 1 hr visit Sainte Anne-de-Beaupré Basilica + 1-1.5 hr Canyon St.Anne Highlights Montmorency Falls At Parc de la Chute, the fall can be discovered on foot or by cable car. A 300-meters double zipline, and the via ferrata -a hiking trail on a cliff-, promise some adrenaline. Trails 0.5 to 3 km long criss-cross the park. As you walk along the cliff on the promenade, you’ll eventually cross the suspended footbridge. The bridge is positioned just above the concrete wall where the water tumbles down beneath your feet. Web https://www.sepaq.com/destinations/parc-chute-montmorency/index.dot?language_id=1 This natural phenomenon is in my opinion over exploited. The 83 m/272ft high waterfall can be viewed from Hwy 138 when passing it. The view from the highway is -from my perspective- even better than from Parc de la Chute-Montmorency itself. However, it is not allowed to stop and park your car along the highway in order to get a picture. Paid Parking P1 - Base of the cable car, below the falls: for buses and cars. Sainte Anne-de-Beaupré Basilica and sanctuary shrine The Basilica is a Sanctuary dedicated to Saint Anne, the grandmother of Jesus. Settlers, missionaries, and sailors coming from France brought devotion to Saint Anne to North America. Saint Anne has become the patron saint of the province of Quebec. Everything began in 1658 when Louis Guimont, suffering from excruciating back pain, came to help with the construction of the first chapel and was miraculously healed as a result. This would be the first of an endless series of healings such as that paralytics walk, Preview Road Book Ontario and Quebec © Tourguide Canada Page 4 Road trip Ontario and Quebec the blind can see, and the sick are healed of every kind of illness. The pilgrimage history of Sainte-Anne- de-Beaupré is one that is marked by extraordinary events, which continue even to this day. Even if you don’t believe in miracles, it’s worth to stop to admire the Basilica! https://sanctuairesainteanne.org/en Canyon Sainte-Anne Canyon Sainte-Anne, carved out of a 1.2 billion year-old rock formation, features trails with 3 suspension bridges, giant potholes, and a 74 m/243 ft high waterfall. Many observation points allow you to discover different facets of the Sainte-Anne Canyon. For an additional fee you can fly with 50 km/hr (31 mi/hr) above the gorge by Air Canyon.

  • A Tour of Eastern Canada
    ONE SYSTEM, TWO COUNTRIES? A Tour of Eastern Canada Kingston – Thousand Islands – Ottawa – Montreal – Quebec Old Town Text and Images: © John Biggs 2010 www.johnbiggs.com.au One System, Two Countries: A Tour of Eastern Canada 2 ONE SYSTEM, TWO COUNTRIES? A Tour of Eastern Canada It is 1994, and I am on study leave from Hong Kong University, partly to finish a book that John, an excolleague from Newcastle days now here at Queen’s University, and I had planned some time ago. We quickly discover that in the intervening time the book had evolved differently inside our respective skulls, and after unsuccessful negotiation, we agree to keep our friendship and drop the book. Which is nice, because Kingston is an ideal place for exploring Eastern Canada, perched as it is midway between Toronto and Montreal, the virtual capitals of the two Canadas. Hong Kong and China may be one country, two systems, as they put it, but I am to learn that here there is one system, two countries. Nearly three countries. When driving to Niagara-on-the-Lake (not Niagara Falls, which is entirely different) I passed the imposing Brock Monument, which commemorates the War of 1812-14 in which the Americans invaded Canada. Some say the invasion was a diversionary tactic in a trade war with Britain, others that the US was determined to incorporate Canada. Thanks to Major Brock that didn’t happen – then – but the US have been trying to get Canada back by cultural stealth ever since, using seduction of the young as their main strategy, backed up by Free Trade agreements.
