We did the adventure on a Monday and La Boîte à Tartes was the only place open. Super good sandwiches and the lady made us taste their homemade caramel! What a pleasure!

Magnificent winding rock dust trail in St-Donat. Calm! The trail ends at Parc des Pioniers where you can find a public water fountain to fill water bottles.
