Quebec

Located in the Northeastern region of Canada, Quebec is a history filled paradise that has something to offer for everyone. Quebec is a French speaking province in Canada that was discovered and founded by Jacques Cartier shortly after Columbus discovered America.

Montreal, Quebec City and Gatineau will give the urban traveler a delightful mix of history and modernism. These three great cities are full of cultural events, historic landmarks and architecture as well as modern art galleries. The diversity that you will find here will enrich your lives.

The Saint Lawrence is one of the largest rivers in the world. This beautiful waterway has been the lifeline for many settlers in Quebec since the time of Cartier. The small fishing villages and trading posts along its shorelines provide visitor’s a look into Quebec’s colorful past. Many of these villages are still in operation today. Be sure when you visit you stop and have a fresh seafood dinner. While you are visiting the Saint Lawrence keep your eyes open for whales and other marine life. Light houses, bird sanctuaries and other costal delights are all available on the shores of the Saint Lawrence.

Quebec is a vast area that covers much of the northern continent. There are areas here that only the caribou have treaded upon in the last hundred years. Traveling out into the wilderness by hiking, canoe or even snowmobile you will encounter many types of wildlife including bear and deer. This area has always been a beautiful wilderness that was often frequented by trappers and if you have a mobile phone with access to the internet you can play DarkOrbit in the wilderness.

Whatever your heart desires, be it nature or big city events, Quebec has something to offer everyone. You will find that visiting Quebec during different seasons of the year will also create a different experience each time, so plan to return at a different time of year each trip.
