A culinary and nature tour in Petite Nation
Your adventure begins at the municipal dock in Papineauville, on the Ottawa River. Along the way, stop by Les Mignardises, a charming bakery and dairy that will delight anyone with a sweet tooth. Continue on to the Saint-Houblon farm, where you can pick strawberries and explore a wide variety of vegetables.
Along the way, you’ll cross the Petite-Nation River several times, with a breathtaking view from the Saint-André-Avellin bridge. This village offers a delightful and welcoming dining experience at its restaurants.
Continue on to Domaine Mont-Vézeau, where you can sample some unique wines. If you prefer cider, stop by Les Pommes Perdues, in the heart of the village of Chénéville—a passionate micro-cidery that uses wild and locally sourced fruit to create exceptional flavors.
The winding road will then take you to the village of Duhamel, known for its 2-kilometer-long sandy beach at Centre Touristique du Lac-Simon. Here, a wide range of outdoor activities await you: hiking, swimming, biking, and more. After a busy day, stop by Carbo Barbecue to enjoy incredibly flavorful smoked meats.
Keep an eye out for the deer that inhabit this beautiful natural landscape, making your trip even more memorable.
