Berthierville
Spend a half‑day in Berthierville for a quick walk to the historic church and covered bridge, then continue east or west on Autoroute 40.
Berthierville is a small town on the north shore of the St‑Lawrence River, roughly halfway between Montreal and Trois‑Rivières. Its main attractions are a historic 1787 church, a covered bridge, and a motorsport museum, all reachable on foot or by a short drive. One half‑day is enough to see the sights; a full day allows extra time for the Berthier Islands bird‑watching area.

- North America ↗Crossing between the US, Canada and Mexico by land needs your passport even on a day trip; rental cars need the company's written permission to cross, and most US and Canadian rental insurance stops at the Mexican border.
- North America ↗Cannabis is legal in Canada and in many US states, but taking any amount across the US, Canadian or Mexican border is a federal crime — including edibles and vapes.
- North America ↗The busiest US and Canadian national parks need timed-entry, campsite or lodge reservations in summer; release dates are months ahead.
- Canada ↗Visa-exempt travellers flying to or through Canada usually need an eTA; check your passport on the official Government of Canada site (canada.ca) and apply only there.
- Canada ↗A Parks Canada pass is needed to stop in national parks such as Banff and Jasper; some spots (for example Moraine Lake) are reached only by shuttle or tour, so book ahead.
- Canada ↗Keep well away from bears, elk and moose; carry bear spray on Rockies trails and follow trail closures.
Entry rules depend on your passport. Full visa guide
