Add Québec road trips to your travel list for the ultimate Autumn getaway. Luckily, my trip coincided with the peak of Fall’s fiery foliage.
On a spa-hopping mission through Mauricie and Lanaudière outside Montreal (somebody had to do it), I reveled in the journey, inhaling the Fall fragrance, French language and culture of the region. With a happy heart, I took to the open road, absorbed by the beauty of Fall’s vibrant splashes of red, purple and gold. Très magnifique!
Any concerns created by cancelled flights getting here soon slipped away. I followed the path of least resistance, soaking up the sun and the scenery along meandering country roads, imprinting the colorful landscape, small farms, and churches in my mind’s eye.
I love the wild beauty of the Pacific Northwest. But my trip back East reminded me why Autumn had always been my favorite season as a child in Upstate New York.
Merci, Québec!

Thanks for the inspiration for a new destination. I grew up in Toronto and have never been to Quebec. It’s time! Your Fall foliage getaway looks wonderful. This would be an outstanding place for a walking tour. I’m going to look into that right now…
