Saint-Patrice-de-Beaurivage, QC

Saint-Patrice-de-Beaurivage is a small farming village south of Quebec City, reached via Route 271 off Autoroute 73, about an hour's drive for city folks heading to camps or rural properties. Local roads link it quickly to Saint-Sylvestre, Saint-Narcisse-de-Beaurivage, and Saint-Bernard, all within a 15-minute hop. Charge up in Sainte-Marie before heading in, as options are thin locally. Look for the shamrock in the parish church windows, a nod to the village's Irish roots.
