The early settlers called the road they built between Montreal and Quebec City the King's Road. It connected the three most important places of French Canada: Quebec City, Trois-Rivières and Montreal. It always followed the banks of the Saint Lawrence River. Avoid driving on the highway and follow the tracks of the early settlers in the region. Along the way, you'll see quite a few buildings from that era. However, you will also pass through charming little villages located right on the banks of the great stream. Likewise, you will discover again and again beautiful views of the Saint Lawrence.
