With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Riviere Du Loup, 20 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Parc de la Croix, Musee du Bas St Laurent and Club De Golf De Riviere-Du Loup. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Saint Jean Port Joli, 35 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s Eglise Saint-Jean-Port-Joli. (But we’d also highly recommend L’Epopee de la Moto and Musee de sculpture sur bois des Anciens Canadiens.)
