I did to a 6 km hike to see the sandy beach area. Then I drove back to Tadoussac and saw the dunes. A 10 min ferry ride across the water and I was off to Trois Rivières…..about 350 km drive, most of it near the St Lawerence. Gorgeous views….but once again no place to stop to take the photos.
Laundry, dinner and an early tuck in for a long cycling day tomorrow.
So many beautiful views getting to Lac St Jean which is about 350km north west of Trois Rivières. The lake is large and beautiful, and I was following Rivière St Maurice for the first half of the trip, so a nice twisty road that I will have to come back to do on the motorcycle 😀. Unfortunately when driving I can’t just stop where I like to take a photo….so unfortunately I don’t have many photos again today.
I drove part way around the lake, as the full circuit would have been 250 km all the way around, and I still wanted to get a bit closer to Tadoussac which is the end of the Fjord. Unfortunately it got dark as I was passing by, so no views….but apparently I have to get off the road for the views, so I will return tomorrow before heading south.

I didn’t take many photos today as I was trying to get to the campground before it got too late. The days are quite short right now….sunrise at 0730 and sunset at 2830, and it was so chilly this morning that I delayed in the coffee shop until it warmed up a bit.
I rode through a few towns today, one town - Louiseville had some type of festival. Many stalls were set up and music was playing in the streets. Unfortunately I didn’t take the time to find out what was going on.
I managed to set up my tent and get into the sleeping bag before dark which was my objective. I’m wearing all my clothes, down jacket, toque and mittens to stay warm tonight. This is the only really cold night, the next few nights will be quite a bit warmer so much more comfortable to camp. Hard to believe that just a few days ago it was so warm at night that I couldn’t even get into my sleeping bag! Certainly fall weather….and I’m so grateful for all the lovely weather that I’ve enjoyed. I’ll be picking up the rental car tomorrow morning….just need to pack up and cycle 12km. I’ll have it for two days….enough time to visit some places that I wouldn’t be able to see otherwise. Should be fun. Only a couple of photos today.
