Itinerary description
|
The woods of Tequenonday run along Champlain Boulevard, between the Ross coast and the Foulon road.
Linked to the Samuel-De Champlain Parkway, this wooded barely two hectares was inaugurated in the summer of 2008.
Possible activities
Several trails and lookouts allow you to discover the site and appreciate its richness including a diverse flora and a large number of bicentennial trees.
Historical
Until 2002, the site was known as Irving Woodland, owned by the Irving oil company. Since then, the Quebec National Capital Commission has purchased the land for the purpose of making it a unique conservation area in the region.
Located on a rocky ridge, this woodland is one of the last traces of the majestic forests formerly along the north bank of the St. Lawrence River.
The site contains archaeological remains that testify to an Amerindian presence in this place dating back to 3,000 to 6,000 years BC - hence the name "Tequenonday", taken from the tales of Jacques Cartier, and which means "on 'other side of the mountain'.

Boisé de Tequenonday (entrée par la Côte Ross) Québec
A bike path connects the upper town by the Ross coast, opposite the Quai des Cieuses. "This is the cream on the boardwalk: the view will be beautiful," enthuses Denis Angers, spokesman for the National Capital Commission (NCC). The 1.5 km short section will complete the link between the runway along the St. Lawrence River to the Port of Québec and the Route verte network on Chemin Saint-Louis. The lovers of the little queen will pedal parallel to the railway on the Ross coast. The track will have the immense advantage of avoiding cyclists to take the very steep slope of Champlain Boulevard, which bypasses the two bridges. In addition, "the slope of the Ross coast was reduced by the work done for the walk," says Angers.
