Lieux incontournables

Explore Quebec: between wild nature and rich culture

Enough to satisfy you all year round, during the Quebec winter or the Indian summer. There are already the metropolises, Montreal and Quebec, which alone would be worth crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Montreal, the economic hub of Quebec, as green in summer as it is white and icy in winter, topped by the wooded hill of Mount Royal Park and rich in its many and so different neighborhoods. A little further along the St. Lawrence, an emblematic river linking the five Great North American Lakes to the Atlantic, stands the fortified city of Quebec, the administrative capital of the province (Canada's federal capital is Ottawa), and its upper town, Old Quebec, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where numerous monuments appear like so many breathtaking viewpoints such as Dufferin Terrace, the citadel or the Château Frontenac. But traveling to Quebec is also about seeing nature at its most beautiful works, an extraordinary playground and adventure for outdoor activity enthusiasts, with family or friends, on guided tours or self-drive tours. Lake Wapizagonke, Lake Saint-Jean, Saguenay Fjord or Jacques-Cartier River, what could be more natural in Quebec than refreshing and entertaining yourself by its thousands of lakes and rivers? You can also choose to lose yourself in the great expanses of the 24 national parks like La Mauricie Park or Île-Bonaventure-and-Rocher-Percé Park, the largest migratory bird sanctuary in North America. The Quebec festive program also includes snowmobile rides or dog sledding in Northern Quebec to discover polar bears, white foxes, and caribou or cruises in the Gulf of St. Lawrence to observe whales, seals and belugas."

A Journey to the Heart of the Beautiful Province

It's not just its linguistic proximity that makes Quebec such a popular destination for French tourists. As the heir of the former colony of New France and historic Acadia, this province, the largest in the Canadian federation, captivates with its varied attractions. The "Belle Province" combines the natural splendors of the Great North with a dazzling architectural and cultural heritage, offering visitors a unique and enriching experience.

Must-see Attractions to Visit

Strolling through the streets of Montreal means discovering the most populous city in Quebec, rich in attractions both on the surface and underground. From Old Montreal to the Mont-Royal lookout, a true mountain park in the heart of the city, passing by the shops on Saint-Catherine Street to Saint Joseph's Oratory, boredom is impossible. Between a Quebec poutine and a maple syrup crepe, Montreal offers a unique blend of flavors and landscapes. The Magdalen Islands archipelago, located in the center of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, more than 200 km from the Gaspé Peninsula's coasts, is an ideal destination for a family or friends cruise. Connected by bridges or dunes, these islands reveal colorful landscapes and traditional fishing villages that will delight nature lovers. In eastern Quebec, the Gaspé Peninsula offers breathtaking panoramas. Between dazzling national parks like Percé Rock islet, fine sandy beaches, and charming little villages, this place invites you to stay in a cabin in Canada or a "pourvoirie," an inn nestled in the heart of Canada's great outdoors. In winter, a dogsledding adventure on a lake fifteen minutes from downtown Quebec City or in the Far North, at the heart of the Canadian boreal forest, is a must. For a simple hike or a grand expedition, a sled pulled by huskies allows you to experience being a modern trapper in these snowy landscapes.

Explore Quebec Off the Beaten Path

The south shore of the Saint Lawrence, Gaspé Peninsula, the Saint Lawrence Estuary, and the town of Tadoussac in Quebec offer some of the best places in the world to organize a whale watching safari or cruise from May to October. Seals and belugas are also likely to be spotted. To the west of the province of Quebec, the second largest bay in the world can be flown over by seaplane to admire the local wildlife: polar bears, arctic foxes, caribou, and snowy owls. In winter, the nights are illuminated by the northern lights. Canada is not limited to Niagara Falls. About fifteen kilometers east of Quebec City are Montmorency Falls, less wide but higher than Niagara Falls. A magnificent spectacle that the more daring can cross via ferrata or on a zip line about 300 meters long!

A Rewarding Cultural Escape

Quebec culture is rich and diverse. Numerous internationally renowned festivals enliven the province throughout the year. In winter, the Quebec Winter Carnival, the Valcourt Ski-Doo Grand Prix, and Montreal en Lumière attract many visitors. In summer, the Tadoussac Song Festival, Montebello Rockfest, Montreal International Jazz Festival, Formula 1 Grand Prix, and Quebec City Summer Festival gather thousands of people. Museums, economuseums, theaters, art galleries, regional interpretation centers, as well as emerging spaces for artistic and musical purposes provide a strong cultural presence in every corner of the province.
