Des Chenaux

The Best of Countryside

The Des Chenaux area is washed by the majestic Batiscan River, which unrolls its fine sand beaches for the joy of outdoor lovers. This region is a paradise for people who like nature and fresh air. In fact, the forest and plains of the area offer a great setting to go snowmobiling, dog sledding, alpine and cross-country skiing as well as ice fishing, which is becoming more and more popular.

It is in this area that people from all over come to fish for the famous poulamon. The area abounds with maple groves, for the joy of maple syrup enthusiasts in spring. Visitors can also pick their own fruit, go hunting, fishing, biking and hiking.

Regional products like cheese, jam and pies also have the place of honour. The churches built along the Chemin du Roy are beautiful, and cyclists will enjoy the section of the Route verte that crosses the region.
