With charming towns, stunning landscapes, incredible food, and a palpable joie de vivre, it’s no wonder visitors love “La Belle Province.”
Our journey begins and ends in vibrant Montreal, where you’ll find great shopping, cafés, museums and beautiful architecture, especially in historic Old Montreal. From there, we will explore the picturesque villages and rural landscapes of the Eastern Townships—mystery lovers will recognize the region as the setting of Louise Penny’s popular novels.
Then it’s on to a 2-night stay in Quebec City, a UNESCO World Heritage site rich with history. Fall under the spell of cobbled streets lined with art galleries, artisan shops, and bistros. Listen to the clip-clop of the horse-drawn carriages. Visit Orleans Island with its New France architecture, farming traditions and gorgeous scenery.
Next, we will journey through the picturesque Charlevoix region, with a scenic train trip along the Beaupré hills and the St. Lawrence River coastline, taking in centuries-old hamlets and shores teeming with migrating birds. Nature lovers will adore Tadoussac, site of the first trading post in Canada, and now known worldwide as a holiday resort and whalewatching destination. Visitors come from around the world to see belugas, humpbacks and blue whales in this pristine environment—it’s an unforgettable experience!
