QUEBEC COMES ABLAZE IN AUTUMN

What’s it all about?

Distinctly North American and unmistakably French, Québec is like no other Canadian province. Its vastness means it feels like a country within a country and ensures cinematic landscapes, while grand cities and charming rural communities offer top cuisine and wilderness adventures beckon.

An outdoor lifestyle

Québec

City Québecers embrace the outdoors in all seasons, hiking and kayaking Montreal in summer and autumn, and skiing and snow shoeing in spring and winter. Wild places are never far and the Laurentian Mountains are popular with Montrealers, who flock to glassy lakes edged by flaming maples in autumn and the ski resort of Mont Tremblant and its frozen forests in winter. Top kayaking spots include Saguenay Fjord, an awe-inspiring stretch of water through a vertiginous glacial valley. The rugged Gaspe Peninsula at the end of the Saint Lawrence River is famous for its rocky coast and pretty red and white lighthouses.

Food glorious food

Whether it’s post-pub poutine (Canadian cheesy chips and gravy) or cordon bleu cooking in a historic chateau, you’ll enjoy your food in Québec. The Charlevoix region is renowned for its farm-fresh produce like cheese, vineyards, breweries and cute towns with tempting bistros and boulangeries. And visit a sugar shack to taste fresh maple syrup.
