QUEBEC CITY: CANADA'S CHARMING NOUVELLE FRANCE -
This is one of the oldest "European" cities in North America. The historic appeal, haute cuisine, lively festivals, and dramatic landscape offer diversions for every type of traveler!
The “Cradle of French Civilization in North America” is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Located on the banks of the Saint Lawrence River, this is the only remaining fortified city in North America. The Laurentian Mountains, perfect for outdoor recreation, rise to the north. Among the nearby attractions are Montmorency Falls, Orleans Island, whitewater rafting on the Jacques-Cartier River, and a famous pilgrimage route to Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré.
