Pétanque is a popular sport among locals, to the point that many public parks have fields open to the public. Many families enjoy practicing it and passing down the love for it at every get-together! As newcomers, an important part of our integration is the sense of belonging, and understanding the local traditions, which is why we plan activities like this, to help you better understand and embrace your new environment. With the collaboration of Pétanque – Parc St Paul-Apôtre, we hope you enjoy this new sport!

This is a one-time event, so you don’t really want to miss out on it!

 

 

The rabaska activity is NOT suitable for children under 6 years of age.

Since this is going to be the only occasion that we are going to visit this park in the summer, we are also opening 10 spots for those interested in simply catching a ride with us, or if for example in your family you have a child under 6 years old (and cannot participate in the rabaska activity). There is a limited capacity for the rabaska and hike guided tours.

For more information about the Jacques-Cartier National Park*, visit their website. On this link, you can also find more information about the trails and other activities to do while at the park.

 

WHAT’S INCLUDED

  • Transportation from our offices (1270, chemin Sainte-Foy) to the park (103 Chem. du Parc-National, Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, QC G3C 2T5). We will stop at km 10, at the Discovery Centre to pick up the guides and for a quick bathroom break. Then, we will continue driving until we reach km 18, where the rabaska activity will take place.
  • A guided rabaska (type of boat) descent on the Jacques-Cartier river, lasting from 1h to 1h15.
  • A guided hike (l’Aperçu), with a duration of 1 hour.
  • Entrance fees to the park.
  • Life jackets DURING the rabaska activity. If you choose to practice another nautical activity, it is your responsibility to rent one yourself.

NOT INCLUDED

  • Meals and/or snacks. Each participant must plan and bring their own lunches (sandwiches, salads, etc.) as well as their snacks and water.
  • Any other activity at the park (equipment rental, other nautical activities, etc.).
  • Accessories like raincoats, sunblock, hats, etc.
