After a lunch stop in the picturesque fjordside village of Ste-Rose-du-Nord, and another big climb, we descended into the Ste-Marguerite valley, which parallels the Saguenay and is almost fjordlike but has enough dry land for a road that follows the river. We enjoyed cycling a wonderfully flat road surrounded by near-vertical cliffs (below right) and stopped to check out Emile Savard's folk art (below left).
