    Portneuf

    June 5, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    We have made our way from Quebec City to Portneuf on the North shore, about 82 k. We ended up spending 3 nights in Quebec at the Deux Lyons. Julia and Ray hadn't been to Quebec before and wanted an additional day. I spend my second day walkin the old town, visiting the Battle of the Plains of Abraham museum and the Art Gallery.

    Today after taking lots of photos of us leaving Quebec we headed off on Route Verde 5 along Le chemin Du Roy or the Royal road. This was the first road built by the French Canadians between Quebec and Montreal. Lots of beautiful new and old houses many in the traditional design. When you think of Quebec, this is what you think. It was much more hilly than the rail trails but worth it for the scenery. We are camping in Portneuf and it is a little smokey from the forest fires.
