I made the circle drive in 2006 and enjoyed it. I was in an RV and stopped at various places. Along the way were numerous scenic churches, which always appeal to me. Also, we found several neat lighthouses on or fairly close to the road. The rocky banks of the St Lawrence were fun to shoot, especially at sunset. Quebec City has a lot to offer, if you plan to go there. We had been before and loved it both times. A bus tour there helped us get familiar with the city, then we drove back on our own. Montreal is another place previously visited, but it is good for several days.
The town of Perce has great scenery, including Perce Rock. You can walk out to the rock at low tide, then scurry back before being stranded as the tide comes up. A boat ride to Bonaventure Island was a favorite. It takes you by the nesting area for northern gannets...several hundred thousand of them. If you have the time, you can get off and visit the island, including a hike to a much closer view of the gannets.
There were lots of colorful towns/villages, but I don't remember specifics. The people were nice, despite the language barrier. It was easy to find satisfactory campgrounds, whose staffs generally spoke English.
We went on to tour NB, NS and NL. Any or all of those are highly recommended. Obviously, you don't have the time for all I mentioned, but I still included everything so you can choose, based on your interests and where you will be. I think you will enjoy it.
