Québec holidays. Québec is unlike any other province in Canada. It is European, with a decidedly French flavour and is full of ‘joie de vivre’. It is the country’s most historic province and its largest. Québec is four times bigger than France. The distinct culture of the Québecois, makes this a very special part of Canada. Its grand scale presents no problem for travelling, as the road networks are both extensive and free flowing.
You must visit the exciting city of Montreal - a city of contrasts. One part is bright, modern, cosmopolitan and fashionable. The other part, Vieux Montreal, is charming, historic and intriguing. Both areas share a delight for all things gastronomic.
Québec City is North America’s only fortified city. Simply stunning, its skyline is dominated by the awesome splendour of the Chateau Frontenac. It is always busy and is characterized by colourful narrow streets, wonderful shops, fabulous restaurants and handsome squares.
The Laurentian Mountains are noted for their scenic beauty, particularly in the fall, when the trees blaze into colour. Throughout the Eastern Townships, you will find a patchwork of wooded valleys and huge lakes in the French version of New England. During the summer months, several species of whales return to the Saguenay estuary, where you can take a sightseeing cruise to observe these magnificent creatures close-up.
