1. The Forestry Village of Yesteryear

Start your day in Franquelin with a guided tour of the Forestry Village of Yesteryear. Franquelin village was built around forestry exploitation back in the day, and several remnants remain today. Take advantage of this tour to discover the lifestyle of the workers and to understand the village's cultural heritage.

Next, participate in a fly fishing initiation. For the curious, this is the perfect activity to explore the fascinating world of fishing. Come and tease the beautiful sea trout and the vigorous striped bass!

For those who prefer flora to fauna, the Forestry Village of Yesteryear has an activity for you too: creating a herbarium! We have some extraordinary vegetation on the North Shore; practice identifying them.

2. Vintage Bakery Franquelin

After your busy morning, it's lunchtime! Stop by the bakery to pick up a delicious pizza or any other handmade dishes.

3. Dining on the Beach

Now that you have your pizza, what could be better than enjoying it on the beach by the water! Walk about 5 minutes to the convenience store to easily access the beach.

4. Hiking

In Franquelin, you have two beautiful hiking options: the Croix de Franquelin Trail and the Pointe-à-la-Croix Trail. It all depends on how much time you have! The Croix de Franquelin is a short 2.5 km round trip trail that will take you about 1 hour. At the summit, you can admire the village of Franquelin and its beaches in all their splendor!

The Pointe-à-la-Croix trail is a 10km round trip and will take you between 2 and 4 hours. In the first kilometers, the trail runs along a lake and leads to a rocky point where, with a bit of luck, you may observe whales!
