A perfect Sunday: leave Sherbrooke in the morning, take the backroads of the Eastern Townships, arrive in Quebec City in the late afternoon with a pit stop at Petit Champlain. The itinerary for those who love the journey as much as the destination.

The Departure: Sherbrooke

Sherbrooke has transformed into a dynamic city, with a surprising gastronomic and cultural scene. Grab a local coffee before leaving — it's the unwritten rule of Quebec road trips. Then head for the 112 or 116, depending on your appetite for detours.

The Townships as a Playground

Between Sherbrooke and Quebec City, the Townships offer vineyards, cider houses, cheese factories, and picturesque villages. Trois-Pistoles, Saint-Georges, Thetford Mines — all possible stops that turn a journey into an exploration.

Arrival at Petit Champlain

The final pit stop: Carrera Café at 72 Boulevard Champlain. After hours on the road, espresso takes on a special flavor. Old Quebec opens up before you, and the day ends as it began — with a good cup.
