Gaspesie road trip

(Translated by Google) Our strengths are the Auberge du Mange Grenouille, the useful travel diary; good balance between the different stages.

The domain of Joseph Ross, a friendly welcome but disappointed by the environment and the house, isolated; (far from restaurants for the evening).

We appreciated diving with the seals at Gaspé in Forillon Park

(Translated by Google) Great availability and warm welcome from Catherine who allowed us to organize a tailor-made family circuit.

No problem with the rental vehicle.

We enjoyed it very much. accommodation A ++++ for Anne's welcome at; Saint Anne des Monts, Monts et Mer gite which allowed us to do a hike and see moose; a few meters from the path !! - at Jo gite de la Lanterne à à agrave; Montreal, exceptional welcome and an extraordinarily well located urban lodging; and convivial to live in family with a kitchen with; available, - a warm welcome, especially for families in need; la pourvoirie de Valga - Exceptional meal at; The inn near Kamouraska (inn on the sea) simple and refined atmosphere. Exceptional site for Saguenay, the inn of the Saguenay river, the hostess proposed to us; the Fabulous show was simply Fabulous. small family accommodation EXCEPTION: Tadoussac "les suites de l'anse" we were not the only ones; to be unhappy, the reception leaves to to desire, hotel on the edge of the road noisy and without charm, thank you for favoring accommodation at outside Tadoussac very touristy. A small regret for the homestay accommodation at; Quebec, we were far from the center, and therefore we did not take advantage of the full of evenings on Quebec, we preferred; the hotel in Quebec that I recommend for your next stays "the other garden" very well located; and very good information service, very pleasant neighborhood.

The family greatly appreciated the stay of 2 nights at; Valga Outfitter. The descent of the Bonaventure river without question a must, the children were happy only the parents poured, in a water at 16 degree it was not very fun!! Bonaventure Island, extraordinary, for the whale watching trip a little disappointment, we had an activity; offered on a catamaran, we would have preferred live the experience in a Zodiac, but we saw the whales!! We had organized us even the kayak-seals trip at sunset at Forillon exceptional, ` maintain in your course!! Lack of information on the activities to be carried out. Quebec; fireworks, free spectacle of the cirque du soleil at; do not miss !! activity who will have scored the most the family is the stay in a tepee at; the Native American reserve of Manawan !! 2 days out of time, on an island fishing and traveling on the lake Undeniable tourist support for this reserve. (forest road a bit long!!).

We did not have a gps, additional costs to the contract, sometimes imprecise addresses for accommodation, maps that were not precise enough, and difficulties in getting out of Montreal, (1 hour to turn in circles, no information on routes). Insufficient and erroneous information for Manawam.

Perfect organization. Thanks to; Catherine DESCHAMPS of AUTHENTIK CANADA for a warm welcome and great listening to; Our needs. [...]

(Translated by Google) Contrary to our previous trip in 2010, everything was wonderful, we spent a great stay.

Plane tickets ok. The rental of the vehicle at Discount ok.

Warm welcome throughout our stay with a special mention for the WANTA QO TI hostel and the Monts et Mer guesthouse in Ste Anne des Monts.

Good activities - we did as many things as possible. Very good travel diary and EXCELLENT organization. [...]

(Translated by Google) The possibility to be able to reach our contact person on site if necessary as well as during the preparation of the trip for advice. The possibility also to be able to choose their activities, the type of hotel category...in short, to be able to easily and facilitated build your trip as you wish. Nothing is imposed; you can make changes to the proposed basic circuit.

The rental of the car went extremely well. "Avis" is conveniently located to the airport of Quebec and Montreal. The car was perfect. Nothing to do repeat. As we knew, we had chosen to land directly at; Quebec. Indeed, ç has avoided the 400 kms of car a little useless and which make waste a day between Montreal and Quebec.

The treehouses at Bonaventure (CIME-Aventure): not really tree houses. They are at most cabins in the middle of the trees. There is disappointment on the product. Then, it's a place for us that is far too "tourist-catching". We also waited more than 1 hour to be served at the restaurant for breakfast and dinner. And they had forgotten to prepare our midday "picnic". The other accommodations were fine. It is really necessary, if the budget allows it, to plan a room with a view of the Rock at the end of the day. Pierced. ça changes everything and it's beautiful.

The activities were really all very good. It would be necessary to add, àgrave; our opinion, in your activity proposals; or at least in the road book, the Bioparc & àgrave; Bonaventure. We discovered it by chance and it was really good. Participating in the meals of the animals with the guide who explains everything to you...It was great.

The travel diary is very useful and very well done. On the other hand, the GPS remains at our opinion essential because it is much easier to navigate. The one you rented from us was fine.

The voucher system worked very well. We had no bad surprises. We had important wishes regarding the rooms. They have always been taken into account. Caroline has always responded to questions. our questions and requests for advice.

The experience of sea kayaking with seals in Forillon Park was a wonderful experience: professionalism and kindness of the guide who led us safely. towards this magical encounter with the seals. Out of mass tourism. We are alone in the world with the seals. Not to miss. Return with a sunset at fall on the ground. [...]

(Translated by Google) Quality B& B, inns and hotels as well as their always judicious location especially at; Montreal and Quebec. The very complete and precise road book.

Karine baudin from Authentik Canada has always responded to our requests and has chosen quality accommodations. and very well located. The map with the steps mentioned has been found. very valuable. We did not have the opportunity to contact her during our trip but were reassured; to know that we could do it toll free from any phone booth. [...]

(Translated by Google) Thank you for choosing the route, stages, hotels, Karine's patience and kindness.

Do not recommend the stone pass. Tadoussac: tiny room, even smaller bathroom, breakfast reduced to a minimum and served in the room on a very narrow table!

I was thinking that your level of service is perfect, really, and that to stand out even more from the competition, it might be a good idea to put in your authentic Canada bag which contains all the documents a small adapter for the sockets. It would still be a little extra but would have a great effect for Europeans! [...]

(Translated by Google) The proposal that was given to me made took into account my time constraints as well as possible and I was able to discover very diverse regions without having too many kilometers to go. perform between each destination. The trip was well designed in terms of rhythm. />
Very satisfactory accommodation, I was able to discover very pleasant bed and breakfasts and inns and each time the welcome was warm. very friendly.

I didn't have a GPS and the info from the travel diary was missing. useful.

The organization at; been very satisfactory and taking my wishes into account, no disappointment.

Thanks to; Johanne from the Gite de la Tempérance for her welcome, her generosity; and its exceptional cuisine! [...]

(Translated by Google) Wonderful canoe-camping experience and perfect hospitality wherever we went.

The travel times were not always correct in the travel log.

Thanks to; Felix de Cime adventure. He struggled to make our adventure an exceptional moment!

(Translated by Google) We liked : The proposal of activities associated with the places where we stayed and the organization of these. The choice of stages, there was always something to choose from. see. The valga outfitter with very friendly hosts. The Auberge sur Mer with their superb view. The Wanta-Qo-Ti hostel is a superb setting with a very nice host.

The Petals of Rose cottage, although our host was very kind and the small room rather comfortable, a bathroom with share with 3 bedrooms.. unfortunately it's a bit tight. The Auberge sur Mer has superb rooms with a view of the river. upstairs. We were nevertheless able to take advantage of a sea view room thanks to; flexibility of our hosts.

Notebook: Very good

Organization: A second night at; Montreal would be a plus because the city is big and there is a lot of entertainment, it's a shame to only stay there for one night. In addition, the stage of the road that follows is almost 430 km, spending two nights in Montreal would allow us to leave more rested for this long stage. 2 nights near Forillon Park would also be appreciated, the park is so beautiful that one day is not enough. Perhaps the step should be sacrificed. Baie-Saint-Paul where there is not much to do; see and is currently under construction, and go directly to; Quebec.

Thanks to; Éric from Pourvoirie Valga. He gets involved a lot to please everyone. his customers, he is very nice and interesting and his wife cooks really well :-) [...]

(Translated by Google) We felt a real communion with Quebec: the choice of stopovers was very good, the hotels superb, the advice always judicious: mileage, visits... We were able to discover a real culture, enjoy nature, grandiose (and its animals!) and meet real and adorable people. It was a very human trip and we really want to come back to see you, this time in winter! Superb Sacacomie!

Some misunderstandings with discount (city center agency) following a the puncture of a tire on a track in a place without network: situation managed without problem by our care but that the agency then tried to complicate... The agency of the airport on the other hand was very well. Case still in progress.


There would be too many people to distinguish ! Thanks to; all for this beautiful trip. [...]

(Translated by Google) Everything was very well planned. Very small rooms in the suites at Anse de Tadoussac. Travel diary very well done, well organized.

Thanks to; Andre and Nancy from gite le crepuscule for the warmth of their welcome and the musical evening spent with our guests and other tourists

(Translated by Google) The circuit was very well thought out; (arrival on Percé from the right side). Gîtes very good: very warm welcome in all. Discovery of the Gaspésie: unforgettable. In addition, an Authentik Canada correspondent always on hand; listening and available.

Perfect accommodations. You can without hesitation recommend the Gîte au Pied du Phare in Cap des Rosiers. The reception there is very good.

Thanks to; Agathe and Robert from the gît Au Pied du Phare in Cap des Rosiers. The meeting with this couple was a highlight of our trip Please note: this does not take anything away from the other lodges in particular: Pourvoirie Valga, Monts et Mer, Les Colibris, Wanta Qo Ti. [...]

(Translated by Google) The most have been advice on the composition of our circuit, the relationship with our adviser, the choice of accommodation according to our wishes and the reception on the guest rooms.

Bémol on the reception at; the delivery of the keys of the rental car (No explanation on the operation of the vehicle, no details or documents inside the vehicle)

It would be nice to have a little more info on the different activities that can be found along the trip.

The travel diary is good and pleasant to read. read.

As a rule we have been very well received on the different accommodations. Depending on the region, the welcome was different but always very friendly, and each host had his own way of standing out from the others. [...]

(Translated by Google) Strong points :

1. Reception and preparation of the trip: simple and efficient.

2. the choice of course: well balanced; , rhythmic and with very good choices of stopover

3. the service providers selected for the accommodation (apart from a few reservations below)

4. support during the trip

The choice of car rental provider: Discount has delivered us; a dirty car reeking of the smell of cigarettes. Support despite a preparation of the file the day before lasted; more than an hour (being at the opening of the agency: result cancellation of a service due to lack of time) and the arrowing of the agency at; the airport is non-existent. We will not take over this agency at any time. the future .

All accommodation providers were at your service. the heights of expectations and the mix of cottages / inns and hotels very balanced. Thanks to; the owner of Gite Petales de Rose - cap des rosiers. A memorable welcome, of kindness and generosity; unique . An unforgettable warm stage.

Note however two points to be noted; improve: In Tadoussac, the Gauthier house offers beautiful quiet rooms despite its location but the breakfast sins in comparison with other receptions both in its quality; only by the "canteen" atmosphere of its room.

In addition, during our stay at the Valga estate we were particularly embarrassed by the confusion maintained by the owners: Although it is an inn, we rather had the impression of being intruders in private homes, very - too present: continual presence (because the inn is in fact their main place of residence) including at meals and insistently pushing to eat. the consumption of the services of the domain including for the winter stays that they organize. It's all the more confusing that you never know what pays off and what doesn't and we are in the impossibility. check the rates at; delivery of the additional invoice.

Note also a good quality dinner but a frugal and very insufficient breakfast. A provider who "oversells" his log house (which is not a must in Canada) but who we would prefer more discreet...

Due to the delay in handing over the car on the 1st day, we were unable to visit the St Anne canyon to be sure of arriving at; time to time activity horse riding that we particularly appreciated (very warm welcome by friendly people). Otherwise all the other activities were at work. the height of expectations.

The travel diary is very well done, clear and explicit. Attention, some direction indications which do not correspond to the direction of the course

Thanks in particular to; Melanie for her support and kindness.
[...]

(Translated by Google) The sympathy of Quebecers, the wide open spaces, the landscapes, the restoration is of very good quality; whether it is a large restaurant or a canteen on the side of the road. The organization of the trip, everything was in accordance with the program, we had no bad surprises only good ones.

No problem with the car rental, we thought we would wait until we arrived. Montreal for picking up the vehicle, I had planned to go swimming in Montreal. the hotel pool while my husband was traveling to; the agency, I did not even have time, half an hour later he was back with the vehicle. We even had the choice between two models (we had took a 4x4). On the way back, no problem either, a driver took us back to; the airport.

We appreciate having different categories of accommodation. Delta Montréal, the seigneury of the mountains, (the manager is a guide, it's great for hikers) the gîte pétale de rose(the lady is a character that you won't forget) , Château Laurier very very good, both in terms of accommodation and hospitality.

For some accommodations the bedding is at your disposal. review: Auberge beauséjour, le manoir (but the reception is very correct and above all the catering of high quality, the breakfast "voucher" entitles you to the whole cold and hot buffet and the waitresses are very pleasant) pourvoirie valga (but the innkeepers are nice and the site is wonderful), The rest is good: The suites at the cove, simple but comfortable and the friendly lady, the ecology the accommodation all in all made in accordance with the description, very large, surrounded by of trees you really feel alone in the forest. on the other hand I find that the rest of the site is not very ecological and deserves to be better maintained.

We particularly want to congratulate and thank the whole team of the whale watching cruise (catamaran): we were late and stuck; in traffic jams to take the ferry to get to; Tadoussac, we phoned to warn and the lady told us to turn around, to go to; the ticket office, and that the boat would take us from this side; from the shore. She called our accommodation for their indicated; our arrival time after the cruise, they accompanied us; by car and came back to pick us up at; the pier (only for the 3 of us). And finally the weather can't be controlled, and we didn't see many whales because there was a lot of fog. to return the next day to 9 hours to redo the cruise for FREE. Many thanks to; they are very professional!

Very good travel diary, complete, we didn't use the road directions very much because we had a GPS. Telephone numbers, contacts, requirements, everything is indicated ;.We really appreciated; the map with the numbering of the stages, as well as all the tourist guides, we could prepare our stages in advance.

Very well, everything was planned and allowed us not to waste time, because unfortunately we always wanted more....

On the other hand it would have been good to warn that in Gaspésie, cell phones do not pass, so for about a week, we would have warned our family before, and maybe negotiate the phone card ;phonic rather with a company which has the monopoly on this place. We could despite all use our card in our accommodations.

What was also very good is that tips are included in all the services we take with you, including breakfasts, THERE IS NOTHING TO ADD . We were not aware before leaving that the prices are exclusive of tax and service, and that the two represent a price increase of around 30%. We met French people who had organized their trip themselves thinking of saving money and they were obliged to cancel their reservations to choose lower categories because the budget was no longer available. [...]

(Translated by Google) Thank you for organizing the trip & a good sequencing of the stages that allowed us to discover a magnificent country in all its variety; and its splendour!

In general, we appreciated the quality accommodation, and good information on local activities. The good communication and the good reactivity, by internet, for the organization of the trip.

À the inn of the "beautiful forillonne", we had a very cramped room but compensated for it. with a charming welcome.

Great experience with a hot air balloon flight in Quebec with a pilot who certainly lacked a bit of "friendliness"!!!
[...]

(Translated by Google) Organization square, even if there were one or two failures was very good. Good accommodation and very nice human encounter

The Auberge La seignerie des Monts, even if the inn is very charming in terms of setting and aesthetics, we had very bad sleep and the inn was much too commercial and could tarnish the open and welcoming image.

We did little activity. because we arrived early in the season when the majority starts in June. There is just one activity. that we wanted to do (the whales) and which was not available before the trip because normally closed when in reality it was possible. On the other hand, the glacier garden that we had reserved; was closed [...]

(Translated by Google) We appreciated that all reservations (car rental, accommodation, ferry, optional activity) be made at advance. All this preliminary organization confers a tranquility of mind when traveling to abroad. We appreciated the content of the roadbook and the accompanying media (road map, tourist guides). Thanks to; this organization, this trip took place in a pleasant way.

At the level of the Ford Focus vehicle: the trunk is at the barely enough for 2 medium sized suitcases. The additional bags had to stay on the back seat, so view. The lessor told us; that we have benefited from from a higher-category model to that planned, what would it have been? if it had not been the case ! We didn't like it at all. accommodation at; Quebec City (Auberge L'autre Jardin) due to its location, in the middle of town in a very noisy district, with no ventilation possible in a confined atmosphere (windows not openable), dining room breakfast in the unwelcoming basement. In the roadbook, the Google road directions were sometimes fanciful, confusion on the cardinal points... [...]

(Translated by Google) when preparing for the trip, the availability by Mary Michelle. The efficiency service "7/7, 24h/24h" when we lost our road-book. Respectability of Authentik Canada with service providers, which is reassuring.

Compared to; our circuit, we would have appreciated to land and take off from Quebec City rather than Montreal, which would have saved us miles on the A 20.... the Matane-Godbut crossing increases the mileage to get to; Tadoussac.Very very long transfer day.. [...]

(Translated by Google) We appreciated the organization. Canadians are calm and smiling bravo for the kindness of your truck drivers we returned with landscapes in our eyes.

For the vehicle rental company, it went well for us. It can go wrong with stressed people, they have to wait hours before getting a vehicle.

For hotels perfect For accommodation in; domicil thank the cottage the sea the mountain to agrave; carleton for its welcome despite his lodging in works lodges the roupillon at; Tadoussac owner very friendly very good cook And for Martine Ricard at; Quebec warm welcome.

I would like to thank your two collaborators Valerie Pin and the person who is at; the welcome that allowed us to spend a pleasant and uncomplicated trip [...]

(Translated by Google) The flexibility in the organization of the trip, both in terms of the stages and the choice of accommodation are appreciable. Very friendly and efficient email contact, speed. information requested. Good documents provided at the start, valuable help from the GPS to find certain accommodations. Beautiful activities offered and good quality. overall accommodation regardless of level. A special mention for Domaine Valga, a very nice stage and a wonderful meeting with Eric and Chantal.

Small problem with the ferry on Sunday 30.09. to 3.00 p.m. from Matane to; Baie-Cormeau, which made us circulate at night to arrive around 8.30 p.m. Tadoussac. Damage to the landscape and good fatigue along the road.

At the accommodation level, the room on the ground floor at Gîte la Mer et la Montagne à; Carleton, very small, with narrow bed for 2 and overlooking the road. by the warm welcome of Alice and Roger. For the two isolated accommodations (Auberge sur Mer in Kamouraska and Gîte Mont Albert) it would be appropriate to offer half board in the package, given the that we have no other possibility. to restore us.

The travel diary is very precise as to the route to; follow. For visits and activities, the special guides attached to the notebook as well as the advice of our hosts allowed us to have great experiences.

Impeccable organization, updated; leaves for the finish at the Marriott Fairfield hotel at; Montreal without being accompanied by the car rental company. It took us almost 2 hours to find the hotel. 5 minutes. from the airport, in the rain at night, with many road works, and that even with the GPS. [...]

(Translated by Google) The whole trip was perfectly organized by Caroline, the B&Bs and hotels have been all in all made in accordance with; our expectation and AVIS upgraded us. for the car... I believe that what we will have appreciated the most; during this trip it is the warmth of the welcome and the kindness of all the people met.

Dinner at; the Cabin at; Sugar. The visit to the Cabane du Trappeur and the presentation on how maple syrup is made are interesting, but the quality is very interesting. of the meal was average and after assigning us two places in the center of the room, we were pushed back to the back of the room near the entrance door on the pretext that there were groups. I would therefore advise against this activity.

Thanks to; Eric and Chantal from Domaine Valga. We enjoyed it very much. the warmth of their welcome as well as the discussions we had with them [...]

(Translated by Google) All in all very satisfied, a big "flat" for the accommodation in the apartment. Pierced
