Description
15-minute drive from Old Quebec, come and discover l'Île d'Orléans, ride a scooter and follow your guide. Taste chocolate and other local specialties, enjoying the region's most beautiful landscape.
Meet your local tour guide at the Motel Ile d'Orleans, close to the island's bridge. There is a shuttle bus from the Old Quebec to the Motel Ile d'Orleans. Upon arrival, receive a detailed safety introduction and try the scooters in the parking lot. Once ready, the small group follows the guide along Chemin Royal. The tour will take about 3 hours.
First stop is the Espace Felix Leclerc, a tribute to the Quebecer artist and influencer. Your guide will underline his important role in history. Afterward, you're invited to the farm of Monna & Filles, a great example of the agrotourism on Ile d'Orleans. Here, blackcurrant is transformed into jam, mustard, and liquor. Taste their original products and also take the time to have a look at the production back in the barn.
Back on the road, head towards St.Petronille, the island's most beautiful village. Cross the island on a less traveled paved street, surrounded by forests and meadows. At the Chocolaterie, in the village's heart, take a little break from driving. Instead, stroll along the St.Lawrence River's banks, enjoying the fantastic view of Quebec City's skyline. On the way back, enjoy the beautiful perspectives of the St.Lawrence River and the Montmorency waterfalls.
