Day Trip on Quebec's Historic Road, Chemin du Roy (Montreal to Trois-Rivières)

This full-day outing takes you along the oldest road in Quebec. The Chemin du Roy, or King's Road, is the historic route that was laid out between the cities of Quebec and Montreal during the New France era. All along the way, you'll admire the architectural and industrial heritage of the small towns that line the road. You'll pass through one of the prettiest small-town downtowns in the province of Quebec, then stop in the second oldest city in Canada, where you'll explore both its old quarters and its lively, popular downtown. You'll round off the day with a visit to Canada's National Shrine dedicated to Our Blessed Mother.
