Quebeckers are recognised for their “joie de vivre” that is evident in the various Festivals held each year such as Québec City’s Winter Carnival and Montréal’s International Jazz Festival. Food is a serious matter and some of the best restaurants in the country located in Quebec. Besides the two major cities; Montreal and Quebec City, the provincial capital and North America’s only walled city, landscapes in Québec are truly wondrous. The forests are spectacular, particularly in the Lauentians home to Mont-Tremblant, and dotted with millions of lakes and rivers. To the East, lies the mountainous and wild Gaspe Peninsula. Varied and vibrant, this is la Belle Province!
Experiences
-
Mont Tremblant
Mont Tremblant is the tallest peak of the Laurentian range and is now a popular all season resort; attracting skiers in the winter and water sports and golf enthusiasts in the summer.
-
Montréal
Montréal is the second largest city in Canada and its greatest attraction is its cosmopolitan, almost European atmosphere.
-
Quebec City
No other city in Canada can be as romantic as Québec City. Part of its charm comes from being the only walled city in North America.
