Treat yourself to massages, body treatments, Nordic baths and other sensory delights.
This route is built on a former railway and is a leg of the Route Verte between Val-Saint-François and Des Sources regions. From Richmond to Danville, you’ll ride through agricultural fields—a calming, quasi-meditative experience if we do say so ourselves! Good to know: In Danville, the Welcome Centre connects onto a bike workshop.
Starting point: La Vieille gare de Richmond
739, rue Principale Nord, Richmond
Here’s a friendly, family-friendly terrace to end your bike ride with irresistible beers, local cheeses, and smoked meat. A tip? Order their Ardoise nachos!
Guided kayak or canoe excursions (single or doubles) down beautiful Rivière Saint-François. Rentals also available.
This Danville pond is home to an exceptional array of wildlife—most notably some 200 species of birds, a number that increases dramatically in fall when migratory birds stop over on their way to warmer climes.
Take the time to ride down this street in Danville—you’ll surely fall in love with the beautiful old houses proudly standing with their slate roofs.
