The Chemin du Roy
The Chemin du Roy, the first road open to vehicles between Québec City and Montréal, was completed in 1737. Considered the longest artery for traffic and communication developed in the north, the Chemin du Roy hugs the shoreline of the St-Lawrence and bears witness to some three centuries of history.
A panoramic and historic road that extends 102 km from Maskinongé to Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade. Fall under the charm of picturesques villages and the historic districts of Trois-Rivières and Yamachiche, where stately ancestral homes have survived three centuries of history. You'll observe how the place names and rich heritage that dot this historic route evoke the lives of the peple who settled here over the course of time.
23 attractions and 14 points of interest. Turn off the highway and follow the crowns! You'll be invited to retrace the past in an ever-changing present. Drive along the majestic St-Lawrence river and stop time and again to admire breathtaking vistas.
