QUEBEC



Located at the north-eastern tip of the North American continent, Québec covers an immense territory. Its surface is equivalent to three times the size of France, five times the size of Japan, twice the size of Texas and seven times the size of the United Kingdom, making it Canada’s largest province.

Québec’s majestic St. Lawrence River is bordered by the Canadian Shield to the north and the Appalachian mountains to the south. Its vast forests shelter more than a million lakes and rivers. Further north, the deciduous forest makes way for the coniferous forest of the taiga, followed by the shrubs and lichens of the tundra.

Québec City, the province’s capital, is perched atop Cap Diamant, from where it overlooks the St. Lawrence. The cradle of French civilization in North America and the only fortified city north of Mexico, Québec City has been on UNESCO’s prestigious World Heritage List since 1985.

Québec City is made up of eight ''arrondissements'' (boroughs). When touring Vieux-Québec, the historical areas of Charlesbourg, Beauport, Cap-Rouge and Wendake, visitors are provided with a wonderful blend of past and present.

Discover Quebec City’s museums and heritage homes, see the Parliament buildings and the Citadel, walk along the Vieux-Québec fortifications, visit the Musée de la civilisation and the Musée national des beaux arts du Québec, take part in numerous festive activities such as the Festival d'été international, the Fêtes de la Nouvelle-France revival event, the Grand Rire humour festival, the Grands Feux Loto-Québec fireworks competitions, the Québec fête Noël event, and the famous Winter Carnival.

Many outdoor activities are available: golf, downhill and cross-country skiing, snowmobile and canyoning expeditions. Mont Sainte-Anne and the surrounding area with its waterfalls and hiking trails await you. Take part in the many festivals taking place year-round: Festival Arts et Reflets, Festival Blues, Festival des couleurs, and Festival de l’oie des neiges (Snow Goose Festival).

Drive round Île d'Orléans and you’ll travel through a 400 year-old historical piece of land, cradle of many families of French origin in America.
