Visiting Quebec on the Labor Day weekend was another one of those spontaneous short trips we recently had. This time the Gonzales couple joined us.
Where We Stayed : Quality Hotel in Montreal and Howard Johnson in Quebec
Places we Detoured : Lavaltrie and Saint Sulpice along Hiway 8. Then a longer stop-over at Trois-Rivieres visiting the Our Lady of the Cape Basilica and strolling the harborfront. Also visited the Shrine of St. Anne de Beaupre in Quebec City.

Where We Ate : Lunch at Faste Fou, Trois-Rivieres. In Quebec, dinner at Scores to celebrate a birthday (which we almost forgot!). On going home lunch was at Casseau Du Fort in Coteau Du Lac . Final ice cream at Gananoque.

Yummy appetizer at Bistro 1640 before the food tour.
Something new we discovered : Finally got to enjoy the city of Trois-Rivieres. We have often passed by this place to visit the Basilica but this time we spared time to enjoy the city.
Something we tried : Our first time to join a food tour and we sure will do it again! Click here for the food tour post.
To keep in mind for next time : The long stretch of Hiway 8 has a “garage/street sale” on this Labor Day weekend. If one wants to do some “antique or second hand shopping” – this is the place to be. Also on this same weekend, Trois-Rivieres holds its last of the summer festival at the harborfront with entertainers and artisans.
Downer : Heavy rain in going home.
