Enjoy Chaudière-Appalaches

From the end of September to the end of November, the great migratory movement of snow geese is a fantastic show around the coastal areas of Chaudière-Appalaches. From Montmagny to L’Islet and on Île-aux-Grues, the region boasts a wealth of birdwatching opportunities. The tidal flats form a nutrient-rich environment favoured by a high concentration of geese, who travel there to stock up before their long journey to the East Coast of the U.S. Fall is also a good time to see families of geese, since the geese make the journey with their young, who are just a few weeks old at that moment.

Did you know that Chaudière-Appalaches has the highest concentration of sugar maples in Quebec? This makes it a major attraction during the sugaring-off season, but it also means that the region takes on an enchanting appeal in the fall. Starting mid-September, the forest canopy takes on multiple shades of red, orange and yellow, giving the landscape a flamboyant glow. This region is also perfect for a road trip, whether you choose the Navigators’ Route, lined with welcoming villages, or the Beauce Route, which boasts a number of inspiring places to stop along the Chaudière River.
