By water, land or sky

Covering a spectacular area of over 600,00 square miles, and home to a 683-mile long river and countless lakes, you can take to the great outdoors by watercraft, bike or foot and feel the revitalizing effects of pure, unspoiled wilderness. A playground for hiking, horseback riding and canyoning, thrill-seekers will also find the opportunity to experience hang-gliding and Via Ferrata. Find yourself on a freshwater lake or river by kayak, canoe or raft, or take to the trails for panoramic views - and don’t be surprised to cross paths with a fox or caribou. Recalibrate and find adventure in wide-open spaces where Québec reveals its true nature.

Bon Appétit

Influenced by its European traditions and multiculturalism, the food culture here is a feast for the senses with an approach to dining that transforms the joy of eating into an art of living. Though famous for hearty Québécois fare like tourtiere (meat pie), poutine (french fries with gravy and cheese curds), baked beans and maple syrup, Québec’s country roads are brimming with fresh flavors, while the St. Lawrence River is a trove of delectable delicacies such as scallops and lobster. The French are known for their passion for fine food and inspired local eating, and here the slow food movement is alive - and very tasty.
