Quebec Holidays

The provincial capital of Quebec – Quebec City – is a historic beauty, with the walled old city a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and streets lined with chocolate box houses, and quaint bistros. Although just a short drive to the border with the USA, travellers wandering around the old town of Quebec City can be forgiven for thinking they've hopped across the Atlantic to the cobbled streets of Paris.

Outside of the cities, travel north east along the southern banks of the St Lawrence River and you'll find rolling farmland and forests which give way to the rugged, mountainous landscape of the Gaspé Peninsula. Alternatively, travel parallel along the north banks of the same river and you'll pass through the idyllic villages of the Charlevoix region on route to the spectacular Fjord du Saguenay where you can spot blue and minke whales during the summer months and beluga whales year-round.
