Montreal, Friday, June 5, 2026 - From June 27 to 29, Petite Aventure returns for a 29th edition that promises to be more festive and unifying than ever.
A must for cycle touring in Quebec for nearly 30 years, this unique event brings together over a thousand cyclists of all ages every summer in a friendly, safe and accessible atmosphere.
Designed for all levels, the Petite Aventure offers a variety of routes ranging from 15 to 90 kilometers per day, allowing everyone to pedal at their own pace. A one-day option is also available on Sunday, June 28, for those wishing to enjoy the experience over a shorter period.
True to the spirit of Vélo Québec events, the objective is not performance, but the pleasure of riding together.
But the Petite Aventure isn't just about cycling: it's also an invitation to discover a region in a whole new way. This year, participants will have the pleasure of exploring the Montérégie, its landscapes and attractions, while sharing memorable moments with family and friends.
The heart of the event will be the village of Saint-Zotique, where a rich program awaits participants: cinema, shows, board games, inflatables, musical entertainment, yoga, massage therapy, as well as sports facilities such as a pump track, ping-pong tables and tennis and basketball courts. For even more fun, a shuttle service will be available to take participants to the beach or a nearby resort.
Offered in an all-inclusive package, the Petite Aventure allows cyclists to make the most of their stay thanks to :
- Two nights camping
- Luggage transport
- Meals
- A signposted route
- Safety on the road
- A support vehicle
Whether you're looking to get your summer vacations off to a good start, experience cycling for the first time or revive a summer tradition, the Petite Aventure is a must!
