Quebec

The heart of French Canada, where Montreal and Old Quebec City have a European flair, with outstanding coastlines, fjords and fall foliage.

Quebec lies in eastern Canada and is the country's largest province, with French as its official language and a distinctive culture. Montreal is a vibrant bilingual city, known for its Old Town, Mount Royal and food festivals. Quebec City's walled Old Town is a World Heritage Site, and its winter carnival is lively. Percé Rock at the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula, whale watching on the Saguenay Fjord and Mont-Tremblant in the Laurentians are also popular. Summer suits coastal trips, Sep–Oct is the time for fall colors, and winter offers skiing and festivals. Montréal–Trudeau International Airport is the main gateway.
