Bas-Saint-Laurent – 2019

Quick interruption from my travels to visit the home town, Montreal. While there we did a little road trip to a region called Bas-Saint-Laurent.

Full Album here.

We drove up from Montreal to Rivière-du-Loup in the night, the next morning we woke up to a beautiful view of “Fleuve Saint-Laurent”.

 

 

Classic motel of the area:

 

 

First stop, Bic National Park:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We decide to keep moving, stop along the way for some pictures and food:

 

 

 

 

 

After about 2 hours we get to the main event of the road trip, the “Jardins de Métis”, a private estate turned attraction.

 

 

The first thing you see is an amazing maze of flowers:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There’s also a “festival” section on the estate that promotes international artists to create fun and creative garden spaces, here’s some pictures:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next day we visited “Canyon des Portes de l’Enfer”, it’s a nice little hike and about 300 steps to go down a waterfall, also host to one of the longest suspended bridges in Quebec.

The waterfall from the steps on the side of it:

 

 

 

The river at the bottom of the waterfall, very cool spot to hangout a little bit before going back up the 300 steps:

 

 

 

Time to get back in the car and drive back to Montreal, not before a last stop in beautiful Kamouraska:

 

 

 

 

 

 

That’s it for this one, see you around Asia!
