Centre-du-Québec

South shore of the St. Lawrence River (or as we like to say here: the “other side of the bridge”)

Want to stretch the fun a little further? From Trois-Rivières, just cross the bridge and you’ll land on the south shore of the St. Lawrence, where a whole new lineup of activities is waiting for you! Nature walks, craft beers, relaxation—just a taste of what our friends on the south shore have in store. 👇

Territory overview

OK, OK… let’s address the elephant in the room: we know what we’re talking about here isn’t technically part of Mauricie. But the south shore of the St. Lawrence—from Sainte-Marie-de-Blandford to Odanak, passing through Bécancour, Saint-Grégoire, Sainte-Angèle-de-Laval, and Nicolet—is a shared passion we have with our partners at Tourisme Centre-du-Québec (shout-out to them 👋).

Beyond the must-sees listed below, you can wander along a 710-metre wooden boardwalk that cuts through a silver maple grove and marsh… and then climb an observation tower to take in the stunning views over Lac Saint-Pierre! (Hard to beat for a first date. ✌️)

Must-sees

Whether you’re looking for nature, relaxation, gastronomy, or memorable family moments, the south shore of the St. Lawrence has everything you need for a one-day—or multi-day—getaway. Here are some spots that are absolutely worth the trip!
