Corridor du Littoral (Boisé de Tequenonday et Quai des Cageux)
Tequenonday woodland: archaeological remains and remarkable trees The Tequenonday Woodland (formerly the Irving Woodland), whose name means "on the other side of the mountain", contains artifacts dating from 3000 to 6000 BC . The woodland is one of the last forest stands near the river in the Quebec City region. A trail surrounded by remarkable trees runs through it and a small gazebo offers spectacular views of the river and the south shore. Walkers, do not be discouraged by the imposing cliff-top stairway that connects Tequenonday to the boardwalk! Station des Cageux: crossroads of services and observation At the western end of the promenade, the Ceux station offers the population a large gathering place. This station, which revolves around an old rehabilitated industrial wharf, derives its name from the nickname given to woodworkers in the 19th century. A marsh, an observation tower and a descent to the water allow to admire the river from all angles. A pedestrian path meanders along the river's edge, connecting the different stations to each other.

Corridor du Littoral (Rivière Beauport, pont et stationnement)
Boulevard François de Laval junction Boulevard Sainte-Anne The Beauport River is a two-speed river: fast in the upstream where the slope is more pronounced and slow for the most part downstream where meanders characterize its course. The rounded sinuosities of the river are regular and they testify to its constant evolution. Indeed, the river has evolved over time due to the different erosion agents and the dynamics of the river. This is why the journey we are experiencing today is not identical to that of the past. The profile of its evolution is also observable with the alternation of concave and convex banks, abandoned meanders (swamps), low-water channels and floodplains (CVRB, 2005).

Montmorency district One of the most charming neighborhoods of the capital remains unknown to most residents of the region. Victim of poorly planned urbanization, Montmorency is at a crossroads. Small trip to a village in the heart of the city. At the crossroads of nostalgia and a possible renewal. "It's like a terra incognita. People do not come here. That's why it's forgotten, so it's a beautiful neighborhood to discover. In his early fifties, Marc-André Careau spent his life in Montmorency. Active in the neighborhood council and different organizations, he knows all the secrets and little stories. Corridor du Littoral bike path - Quebec Green Road # 5 along the St. Lawrence, Old Quebec
