At Last! Nature Within Reach

The Accessible Road is a travel guide revolving around accessibility. It is designed to help those with limited physical mobility plan worry-free getaways—they won’t need to give accessibility a second thought! The guide reaches out to a clientele looking for accessible cultural and tourist sites that have qualified staff who are familiar with their needs. Like everyone else, people with mobility issues are looking for fun and adventure, while keeping safety in mind. Kéroul understands. 

For six years now, Kéroul has worked toward offering its clientele, here in Canada and abroad, a tool that makes it easier to plan safe, accessible trips to Québec. The Accessible Road, available in print and online, is there to meet the demand. The last three issues of The Accessible Road have been theme-based: in 2009 it was history, civilization and animal parks; the 2010 issue focused on science, art and culture, and Québec’s parks and gardens; and the 2011 edition’s theme is resorts and the great outdoors (family getaways, campgrounds and bike trails). 

Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Eastern Townships, Charlevoix, Chaudière-Appalaches, Laurentides, Laval, Manicouagan, Mauricie, Montérégie, Montréal, Outaouais, Québec City and Area, and Saguenay–Lac- Saint-Jean. 

Whatever it is you’re looking for—museums or other tourist attractions, accessible hotels, camping at one of Canada’s National Parks such as La Mauricie National Park, whale watching, hiking (in season) at nature’s pace along accessible trails, cycling on paved bike paths lined with informative plaques and breathtaking views, and much more—you will find it in The Accessible Road. And you can expect outstanding treatment thanks to our Welcoming Ways*... 

The Accessible Road is a must-have tool for persons with disabilities—and their families and friends—looking to plan trips, outings, activities and stays at any of Québec’s accessible sites. 

More and more, Québec’s awe-inspiring natural landscapes are compelling people to stop and take in the scenery. Within these vast expanses lie accessible facilities such as campgrounds with restrooms, beaches, picnic tables and barbecues, as well as hiking trails offering a host of nature-discovery activities. Not only is The Accessible Road an innovative source for all the latest in accessible tourism throughout the province, but it’s also available for free! 

Vacances Tourbec assists Kéroul’s clientele by putting together accessible à-la-carte group offers in collaboration with charter-coach operator Autobus Galland. To take advantage of this exclusive offer, send an email to Marcela.Gomez@galland-bus.com.
