Suggestions :

Day 1: (43 km) Departure from Saint-Félicien AM. You can start your day with a visit to the "Wild" Zoo, Saint-Félicien or hop on your bike and roll 43 km to Val-Jalbert.

Day 2: (46 km) Why not start today with a visit to a tourist attraction? The Val-Jalbert Historical Village is one you shouldn’t miss! You can ride about 20 km to Métabetchouan-Lac-à-la-Croix and along the way The Métabetchouan Historical and Archeological Centre in Desbiens is an interesting stop. Turn around and head back to Val-Jalbert and for a good night’s rest.

Day 3: (43 km) A good breakfast to give you strength for the return to Saint-Félicien. If you would like to do a little visiting along the way, the Mashteuiatsh Amerindian Museum is a good example. We hope your cycling circuit pleases you and see you next year!
