Le grand tour du Val

Discover the authentic Val-Saint-François countryside as you pass through fields and forests. Stop off at the Ulverton Wool Mill to learn more about this storied industry. Once you've pitched your tent at Camping Melbourne, head to Richmond to savor a local beer at the Coopérative brassicole de l'Ardoise and enjoy a comfort meal!

Refuel at the Café du Couvent in Richmond. This stage features several good climbs, rewarded by views of the surrounding countryside and mountain ranges in the distance. You'll also cross the Chemin Grandmont, which is closed in winter, giving you a chance to practice your technical skills! When you arrive at the campsite, relax by the river!

During the day, admire the flora and fauna of Kingsbury Marsh or take a detour to Vallée du Moulin to sample fig products in an enchanting setting. On your way through Racine, stop off to buy some local produce. When you arrive at the campground, relax in a spa or try paddleboard yoga!

Your energy level depleted? Return to your car along the magnificent Racine to Valcourt Ardoise trail. Alternatively, continue your journey to discover magnificent views of Mount Orford and friendly cows grazing in the fields. Stop off at the surprising Chez Duff general store before climbing a hill where the view will reward your efforts.
