Canada- The Blueberry Cycle Route (2025)

Canada- The Blueberry Cycle Route 6 Days/ 5 Nights The Véloroute des Bleuets is a 256 km/159 mile paved cycling circuit around Saint-Jean Lake, approximately 2 hours north of Quebec City. The well-established route offers a gentle ride through farmland, forest, small towns, lovely beaches and many small tourist attractions. Relatively short days of cycling allow you to truly discover the region with its warm hospitality and to indulge in the route's namesake - blueberries. Throughout the area, blueberries grow wild and are farmed from the end of July to the beginning of September each year. In season, you'll find them sold by the basket and throughout the year you will find them featured in menus and local products such as pastries, syrups, jams, chocolates and even combined with local game meat for a real local delicacy. Also along the route are fantastic microbreweries (microbrasseries), cheese shops and plenty of opportunities to sample Quebec's most famous dish - poutine. The lake itself drains east into the Saguenay River fjord which in turn drains into the mighty St. Lawrence River. The entire tourist region is known as 'Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean'.
