I personally love the area, I'm not bilingual so i keep myself more in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, And Newfoundland. My favorite being Newfoundland.
There is a cheese factory/store just NE of Riviere-du-Loup, i believe it's in Riviere-Trois-Pistoles, It is sold warm when fresh, and has a mouse on the package. It's the best cheese I've ever run across in the US or Canada.
What I like may be different from what you like terrain wise, so...take a month and go see all that area, and then decide which province/area suits you best
