Chaudière-Appalaches

Chaudière-Appalaches is a region bordered by the St. Lawrence River and is situated near the American border. With its 200 km of riverside roads, this region counts some of the oldest and richest history and legacy in the country. It also includes many lovely villages, many of which are considered to be the most beautiful in the province of Québec. The Chaudière-Appalaches region is named after the Chaudière River that meanders throughout the Beauce region before flowing into the St. Lawrence in Lévis. To the South of the region, bordering the state of Maine, are the rolling mountain tops of the Appalachians in the Thetford, Etchemins, Bellechasse, Lotbinière and Côte-du-Sud regions. A lush nature where the river skirts fertile valleys, Chaudière-Appalaches is a paradise for bicycle touring, trekking and bird watching. Visit the Grosse Île and the Irish Memorial National Historic Site of Canada to discover the quarantine station and meet epochal characters. In winter, the Chaudière-Appalaches region is proud to provide over 5000 km of trails to snowmobile and quad fans. Take the time to discover the abundance of terroir products and experience the richness and originality of regional cuisine.
