What to do in Petite-Rivière-Saint-François when it rains
The village of Petite-Rivière-Saint-François offers a rich diversity of breathtaking scenery. Bordering the river for 6 kilometers, it's renowned for its spectacular panoramas. Synonymous with the great outdoors, the village is renowned for the variety of outdoor sporting activities it offers. However, as it's always possible to encounter a rainy day, we've put together a short itinerary to make the most of the area even in the rain.
In Petite-Rivière-Saint-François, time seems to stand still, and what better way to start a rainy day than with a lie-in? Once up and about, a stop at the Café du Domaine in Liguori is a must to enjoy a cup of coffee. This delicious hot beverage will warm your heart on this grey day.
The village quay
Continue your day with a visit to the Petite-Rivière-Saint-François wharf, a must-see for admiring the area's scenery. In front of you, the imposing Massif de Charlevoix reveals itself, while the St. Lawrence River stretches as far as the eye can see. Even under grey skies, the atmosphere is unique and the panoramas spectacular. From June to August, take the opportunity to visit the Maillard chapel and its crafts exhibitions.
In the afternoon, take advantage of the cooler weather to venture out on the hiking trails. It may sound daring, but if the rain stays light, heading out to discover nature can be a fun experience. The Sentier Gabrielle-Roy-Est is a must. To make the day complete, a hot shower on the way back is well deserved!
Comforting pizza in a friendly atmosphere
The best reward of the day: a comforting pizza at Auberge Le Four à Pain. Here, you can sit back and enjoy friendly cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere.
