Montérégie is an amazing place to get some fresh air on two wheels! One of the must-see destinations in the fall is the Montérégiade path, which takes you into the heart of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and gives you the chance to combine your bike ride with a bit of local history and delicious food discoveries. The Chambly Canal bike path is another gem: it immerses you in history while offering splendid views of the canal and the surrounding brightly coloured trees. There is also the possibility of renting a shuttle or luggage transportation service so that you can enjoy a longer or multi-day bike ride more comfortably.
A true fall tradition, picking your own fruits and veggies is the perfect way to celebrate seasonal flavours. In fact, the Montérégie region could easily be considered an apple-picking paradise, with its many orchards inviting you to fill your bag with apples. Verger Labonté, on Île Perrot, and Vergers et Cidrerie Denis Charbonneau, in Mont-Saint-Grégoire, offer not only apple picking, but also gourmet boutiques where you can stock up on all kinds of apple products. And beyond just apples, agritourism farms such as La fille du Roy invite you to pick all sorts of other delights, including sweet corn, pumpkins and squash.
