You can ride up to Shannon<\/strong>, then stop at the wagon for a sip of water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While you\u2019re at it, take the time to learn a little about the history of the railroad that now serves as a bike path. All aboard\u2026 the audio journey!\u00a0\u263a<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you feel like it, get off the trail and head to Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier<\/strong>. At the municipal park, right next to the beautiful Clark Bridge, take a moment to relax and learn more about the municipality. There are two markers to discover there: one tells you about the construction of the metal bridge that spans the Rivi\u00e8re Jacques-Cartier, the other shares the stories of the first residents who formed the cultural mosaic that characterizes this part of the region to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next stop: Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury<\/strong> to sate your thirst (and your curiosity)! After a good microbrewery<\/a> beer, it\u2019s just a hop, skip, and a jump to 1re Avenue for a little stroll. Along the way, you\u2019ll pass a few houses with ties to the establishment of the forestry industry in the early 20th century, followed by the Saint-Edmond Catholic Church in the heart of a heritage site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll easily be able to spot the bright colours of this marker on the circuit. By reading the interpretive panel or scanning the QR code with your mobile device, you\u2019ll learn what the beautiful white and red farm building behind the rectory was used for. You\u2019ll also meet some of the \u201cfarming priests\u201d who tilled the municipality\u2019s soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For brunch, head to the Manoir du Lac Delage<\/a>! You can always walk around the expansive grounds to work up an appetite while enjoying the superb view and tranquil surroundings. Before you sit down to eat, take the time to learn more about the birth of the city, which was built for leisure and tourism. The marker<\/a> is right at the manor\u2019s parking lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are you a lover of lakeside landscapes, mountains, and art? It\u2019s time to hit the road for Lac-Beauport<\/strong>! Park at the yacht club to get a better view of the lake and the natural surroundings. In the park, you\u2019ll discover the diverse talents of many local artists who exhibit in the Corrid\u2019Art.
