Itinerary:

Visit Quebec City and participate in its 400th anniversary! .

We'll be staying just outside of the city in a lovely campsite located on the shores of Lac St-Augustin, just a 15 minute drive to the city. Juneau Camping has many facilities, from canoe and paddleboat rentals, to a hot tub, a snack bar and restaurant and much more. We have rented two chalets, and one campsite. Dominic and I stayed here on our honeymoon and discussed coming back with the TOC! The Chalets have a kitchenette and bathroom, they sleep a maximum of 6 people, if people are willing to double up. The cost will increase if you insist on a sleeping alone.

Quebec City is a biker's paradise. There is a bike path that runs from Lac St-Augustin, through the 'tony' suburb of Cap-Roughe along the St. Lawrence right to the Citadel. You can choose to bike into the city for the day, lock up your bikes and spend the day exploring the historic old city, sightseeing, shopping, eating.

Other activities could include - day trips to Ste Anne du Beaupre, Chute MontMorrency, whale watching at Saguenay and many other choices that can be done as a group or arranged through the campsite.

Accommodations will either be a shared cabin or you can book a campsite for tent or trailers. Dogs are allowed on the campsite but not if you are staying in the cabins - you'll have to book a campsite and bring your own tent and/or trailer. Bikes are available for rental by the hour or the day, so if you cannot bring your own, you can still participate in the biking outings. This is a very Kid Friendly campsite with lots of activities for little ones. There are showers and laundry facilities on site.

Travel: It will take between 7 to 9 hours of driving to get to Quebec City, so plan to leave early on Thursday and arrive home late on Tuesday. Other options may be to bike there over several days (please contact Jim for details) or to take the train or fly, but you'll have to make those arrangements on your own.

What the cost includes:
At this time, we have booked one cabin and one campsite. The $101 is based on a full 6 person occupancy for five nights in the cabin. The cabin sleeps 6, but everyone will have to share a bed (there are 3 beds that sleep 2 each). If you don't wish to share a bed, you can opt to pay $200. Dominic & I have booked one campsite for our trailer The cost does NOT include food, carpool cost (see below),tours or rental costs. If we decide to take a day trip to Ste. Anne Du Beaupre or MontMorency, there will be additional carpool costs.
