Timeline
16:00
Stop at the Marché Public Matapédien. It opens at 16:00 on Thursdays, so you arrive right as the market wakes up. Pick up some local treats or snacks to carry with you.
16:15
Walk 11 minutes to Microbrasserie La Captive. It is a brew pub and restaurant near the market area. Grab a local beer or a light meal to enjoy while you plan the next leg of your walk.
16:45
Walk 14 minutes to La Chocolaterie BelJade. This artisan’s boutique is near Parc A.-T.-Rostan. If it is in season (mid-June onwards), you can browse their merchandise. If not, the nearby park area is pleasant for a stroll.
17:00
Walk 51 minutes to the Anses-Saint-Jean Bridge. This 1931 covered bridge is a quiet, single-lane structure. Stop before entering, check for oncoming cars, and cross carefully. It is a sturdy piece of local history still in daily use.
Local tip
The bridge has no signals. Always stop and look both ways before entering. The market is only open on Thursdays from 16:00 to 19:00, so this plan works best on that day. If you visit on other days, check the route to the market as it may be closed.
