Located in an urban area, this 200-acre tourist and recreational site includes three ecological parks, namely Parc de l'Île, Parc intergénérationnel Veilleux and Parc des Sept-Chutes, which are interconnected by hiking trails and bicycle paths. These are accessible by the Sentier des Jarrets Noirs, a 20-km section of the “Route Verte” (cycling route). Parc de l'Île runs along the lake created by the inflatable dam built by the “Rendez-vous à la Rivière” corporation. Two footbridges provide access to this park. Parc Veilleux is a leisure park featuring an inline skating path, a children's playground known as Richelieu Space and a fitness trail for seniors. The park also has gorgeous beds of peonies, lilacs and other perennial flowers. The Parc des Sept-Chutes has picnic tables, swimming area and 8 km of hiking trails, in addition to an exceptional 150-acre urban forest. Boat rentals and a launching ramp are also available on-site during the summer.
Under a beautiful hot sun at the beginning of fall, we set out to explore the Route de la Beauce. We were ready to let ourselves be charmed by the bucolic landscapes, the twists of the Chaudière River and especially by the legendary Beaucerons.

Everyone knows the Beauce. Whether for its legendary population, its singular accent, for its strong entrepreneurial side, its dynamism in the agricultural sector and of course maple syrup (mmmm of good maple syrup). Today, I invite you to discover this beautiful sector of the Chaudière-Appalaches through its landscapes along the brand new Route de la Beauce!
