veloroute des bleuets looped circuit印象

We recently completed the cycling route around the lac St-Jean which is about 260 km. Because we were on vacation and looking to explore what the region has to offer, such as microbreweries, cheese factories, a zoo, a ghost town, and wild blueberries everywhere, etc., we took 5 days to do it. We would pedal between 50-60 km in the morning. I think that this trip is accessible to most people as it is a beginner to intermediate course. The downs: most of the time you are on a cycling trail or a less busy road but sometimes you have to peddle on the side of the 169 where big vans pass by at 100k.Overall great vacation that we recommend to everyone!

The roads are clean and in good shape, but people drive fast out there. The view on the Lake St-Jean is fantastic but more than half the travelling around the lake is away enough from the lake side that you cannot see the water and the beaches.

This is a terrific 5 day trip, cycling around the huge lake. Our accommodations were arranged by Hooked on Cycling who then contracted Equinox for final bed and breakfast arrangements. Equinox carried our luggage from place to place, rented us the bicycles and gave us the itinerary. All B and B's were terrific and I will be writing separate reviews on them. The ride was a joy and a way to truly appreciate the beauty of Quebec and the friendliness of the French Canadians. If you like to cycle and like fairly flat routes, I highly recommend this ride.

The 256km around Lac St Jean takes you through farmland, blueberry fields, forest, villages, lakes and rivers. It is well maintained and there are a variety of activities along the route. Museums, cheese factories, micro-breweries and beaches. There are lots of well maintained rest areas with clean bathrooms and places to picnic. We decided to take the package with Equinox where all our accomodaton was pre-selected and they arranged baggage transfer between B&B's. A very enjoyable cycling trip.

If it weren't for the sections of the route along the highway I would give the Blueberry Route 5 stars. The wide paved shoulders leave plenty of room, but the transport trucks are a bit hard to deal with. My husband and I cycled and camped the whole way along the loop. We have a lot to say about it, so point form:- it's inexpensive to have your gear shipped from place to place if you're camping. We wanted to be purists, but honestly, it would have made the ride more enjoyable not to lug all our gear everywhere we went. - We did the loop over 4 days. It was too rushed for us. We could easily do the distance, but we felt we missed out on spending time experiencing the little towns, many beaches and side attractions along the way. 5-7 days would have been better, because there is so much to see and do. And, if this doesn't allow you enough time on your bike, there are lots of attractions just off the route that you can cycle to as side trips and easily add another couple hundred KM to the route. - The zoo at St Felicien was expensive, yes, but totally worth it. The train ride through the "open zoo" was something we've never experienced before, and a must do, especially with kids. - The city of St. Felicien is beautiful as well. The downtown has a music stage and a beautiful garden right on the river. Although we didn't get a chance to see it they have free music concerts and light shows throughout the summer months. - Point Taillon Park is stunning. We passed through on our first day and only stopped once to swim, because we had to rush to make the last ferry crossing. The trail is gorgeous, and a great relief from the sun. The public beach is nice, but there are countless private little strips of sand along the trail, that we discovered after leaving the beach. - Top notch camping all along the route, all very well maintained, with helpful staff. We booked sites ahead of time (a good idea) but chose our prime location when we arrived, and staff always accommodated our request for a site with a better view/more sun etc. - Snacks/food are readily available at gas stations and supermarkets. Don't carry too much with you. - At Dolbeau Mistassini there is a spectacular municipal beach on the river. Don't miss it!We were welcomed by people in communities all along the route. Almost everyone was friendly and helpful, and our experiences with people along the way contributed a lot to our experience. A special thanks to our friends in St. Felicien :)

Que l'on soit expert ou novice, la vélo route des bleuets est remplis d'attraits touristique, de vue panoramique, de paysage à couper le souffle. Cette route tes parsemé de camping, de motel ou d'hôtel ou de restaurant abordable ou plus chic selon le budget que l'on a.Il y a même des navettes si l'on opte pour faire transporter les bagages.On eut y faire le tour du lac ou simplement quelques sections quotidiennes. Un jour de vélo c'est formidable, mais on oeut faire le tour et visiter et la semaine passera rapidement.

Based on other people's reviews, we did the loop, and it was an okay vacation, but only if you have a thick skin for biking many miles on a busy highway, sharing the road with trucks, including double trailers, going at full speed on a daily basis. The parts that were not on the highway at all were great, but the highway portions, which was a substantilal portion of the trip, were horrible. There is a brochure for "Veleroutes des Bluets". The map tells you where there is a trail and where you just have a shoulder. Look at that map closely. Any parts that are on route 169 are horrible. There are some places where you are using a shoulder of 169 and some parts where there is a path - if there is a path, it is tolerable. Studying the map and talking with locals, I would recommend looking at the map and taking side roads from Albanel to Dolbeau to avoid one of the worst parts of 169. Highly recommended is the Chute De Pere motel in Dolbeau - great food, right on the river. The trail from Girardville looked very interesting coming out of the woods. The zoo in San Felicien was expensive, but fun, and one of the nicest parts of the bike and a very nice bike ride. Another tip: there are signs to a monastery in Dolbeau, which is not the same as the highly advertised "new monastery and choclaterie."

Second time we did this circuit. This time during blueberry season. Really good cycling all on paved surfaces. Lots of the circuit is on dedicated bike paths with parts on secondary and residential streets. Parts are on the a highway but with quite wide shoulders so, other that when crossing short bridges, we always felt quite safe. We did the 270 km in 4 days.
