Portneuf County is an historic and administrative rural County West of Quebec city in Quebec, Canada. It's boundary sprawled from the shore of the St-Lawrence to the public mountainous land of the Laurentians (Canadian Shield) in the north covering a vast area of about 4000km². It also forms the western limit to the administrative region of Quebec city. This mainly rural county, with a population of about 35000, is a typical 'out of the touristic track' area and this eventhough it includes some quite majestic natural landscape and townscape. Hitch-hiking between the different localities of this territory is normally easy, especially when the traveller stick to the provincial roads (having 3 numbers). It should as well be easy to either reach Quebec city or come from there.

From Quebec city, there is mainly 2 main road that runs into the county, holding a sign naming of the county's village name will greatly facilitate your quest to get a ride as many inhabitants are commuting to Quebec everyday.
