Portneuf
This tiny St. Lawrence River town in Quebec, midway between Quebec City and Trois-Rivières, Portneuf sits on the historic Chemin du Roy — a segment of Route 138 that once connected Montreal to Quebec City. The Portneuf River runs along the town's eastern edge, and mountain views extend from the surrounds. Paper-making has shaped the local economy since a mill opened here in 1839, and a tiny central core offers cafés and restaurants for travellers passing through.
