Quebec by Motorhome

(Translated by Google) We had an "adventure in slippers"! The trip was exotic and the landscapes sublime, and all possible obstacles had been overcome. erased from our route by the designers of the course. We felt like Robinsons at; the discovery of an unknown country, protected by a little guardian angel on the shoulder.

The motorhome trip was very pleasant in general. No really negative point concerning transport, except perhaps the cost of fuel... but this point is not really modifiable.

The campsites were judiciously chosen so that we had optimal comfort while remaining in an experience of proximity. of nature. If we had to give a slightly less positive opinion, it would be on the dates. We chose a stay at the beginning of the summer season, end of May / beginning of June, and although the campsite was "open", we often found it difficult. door closed for the local information point, or the campsite convenience store. Certainly that did not prevent us from to camp comfortably, but sometimes we needed a little orientation help and the info centers were closed. Also, games rooms or swimming pools were not accessible. Too bad for the rainy days...

We have chosen to do the "nature" activities, that is to say the vast majority of them. of hiking and walks to; on foot or by canoe. On this point, nothing to say. Concerning the excursion of the whales to; Tadoussac, it is ESSENTIAL to bring VERY WARM clothes (hats, gloves, pants other than simple jeans) in addition to a warm coat because the temperature drops dramatically once on the water.

The travel diary was perfectly established, and the explanations on the routes perfectly took over from the GPS. Only small point of shadow: in the notebook and trip it is indicated; that to go down from Tadoussac to the Parc de la Jacques Cartier, the road along the Saint Laurent is one of the TOP 5 in Quebec... OK, but it's a torture to follow. read when our route to scrupulously circumvents this one because of works! Our organizer had oriented us perfectly. on the route to take to avoid the works (road through the park, very beautiful by the way!), but we had a little twinge of not being able to admire this road along the St Laurent. A little advice therefore: erase the passage on the "TOP 5" if the road is not taken :-)

Organization: PERFECT!! We had a guardian angel on our shoulders. Always pleasant and sympathetic (even when I sent a less nice message thinking of not having any info when everything had been sent to me and explained and that I had not printed the correct document... My Fault!!!) Super efficient when needed. Nothing to do say!

Thanks to; the charming saleswoman of a "local produce" shop in St Prime (near St Félicien). We went into the "local products" shop thinking we were finding edible products, when they were artisanal products (jewellery, decoration, etc.). When the saleswoman asked us; if we were looking for something specific and it was mentioned; "microbrewery beers", she sketched; a smile and although our request for could absolutely not find; satisfaction in her shop, she very kindly directed us to 2 places where we could find what we were looking for. She was even disappointed not to be able to help us more. What kindness, and what open-mindedness. At home, we would certainly have been entitled to; a sulky face. :-) So thank you to; that person. (The beers were great by the way :-)

Also thank you to; Caroline DION of Authentik, who was patient with us during our many travel preparation questions, knew how to concoct a tailor-made stay for us with our one-year-old granddaughter, and was adorable from A to; Z! Cheer! [...]

(Translated by Google) We really liked it. beauty sites visited. All campsites were clean and beautiful. National parks have very interesting activities.

In terms of taking charge of the motorhome, it was catastrophic. Canadream gave us Appointment at; 10:30 a.m. to our hotel, they came to 11:45 a.m. after we relaunched them 2x by phone, once on site very long support.

We had two small problems with the travel diary, the 1st on the Tadoussac Parc j-cartier route the route on the map was not the same as that on the roadbook, the 2nd is that for the day of return, we did not have the explanation to bring the bus back to canadream but we had the details to get to us. our hotel result we found ourselves to the entrance to montreal with the camping bus, really not great.

Apart from our two small problems everything was very well organized. Thanks !
