Val-Saint-François

Richmond - Danville

This route is built on a former railway and is a leg of the Route Verte. Between Richmond and Danville, you’ll ride through agricultural fields—a calming, quasi-meditative experience if we do say so ourselves! Good to know: In Danville, the Welcome Centre connects onto a bike workshop.

  • Unpaved bike path 20km
  • Paved road 1km
