The Chaleur
The moment you board the Chaleur in Montreal your vacation begins.
From Montreal to Gaspe you have a 1,041km journey to the coast to enjoy: travel along the south shore of the St. Lawrence to Matapedia, viewing of the beautiful Baie des Chaleurs that gave the train its name, exclusive panoramic views of lovely, quiet beaches and unspoiled coastlines and the charm of the town of Gaspe and its beautiful surroundings including Forillon National Park. This is where the many Montrealers come to vacation.
The Chaleur departures are specially timed to ensure you have the maximum daylight viewing of the beautiful Gaspe region.
This whole area is a relatively undiscovered piece of paradise with jaw dropping scenery, a great collection of national parks and the continents longest hiking trail.
The Appalachian Trail starts in the Forillon National Park and ends in Mt Springer, Georgia USA.
The best bit about travelling by train is that you can either stop off and enjoy it all or just sit back, relax and stare in wonder from the comfort of you seat.
The Chaleur travels between Montréal and Gaspé Peninsula three times a week on a route that takes passengers through the enchanting village of Percé after wandering along the St. Lawrence River, the Matapédia Valley, and the Chaleur Bay.
This is a part of Canada that is very popular with French speaking Canadians and if you want to appreciate the full experience of 'French' Canada then this has all the facilities you could want as well as being literally at the end of the line, at least as far as the Chaleur is concerned.
And what better way to get there than on the Chaleur with its comfortable sleeping accommodation, dining car and observation car.
On the return trip, the Chaleur leaves Gaspé in the afternoon to arrive at Montréal the next morning.
