Next time you’re thinking of rolling down Highway 20 on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, I would suggest you stop to smell the roses. More exactly, stop and spend time on two islands in the middle of the St. Lawrence, just north of Rivière-du-Loup.
Both islands belong to Duvetnor, a private conservation group whose goal is to protect the bird life in the St. Lawrence. You leave your car on their wharf at Rivière-du-Loup and take one of their boats to either Ile-aux-Lièvres or Brandy Pot Island.
Or, you can visit both. Sound complicated? Not really, however, the inn personnel need to know in advance what to prepare for your meals, and to keep a place on the boat for you.
