A car is necessary for visiting La Beauce. The almost linear shape of the region, stretching from the US border to Lévis and Quebec City make either end a convenient place to start exploring the region. From Waterville, Maine and other points south, US 201 crosses the Appalachian mountains and reaches the US-Canadian border at the southern end of the region, becoming Route 173 Route du President Kennnedy. From Quebec City, cross the Saint Lawrence River on the Pont Pierre-Laporte, entering the region on Autoroute 73.
