Québec and Tadoussac

The birthplace of French-speaking America and a UNESCO World Heritage gem, Québec is a unique and irresistible destination. It’s impossible to escape the charms of Old Québec, which, with over 400 years of history, captivates with its European flair, exceptional heritage, and welcoming atmosphere. Ideally located on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, Québec also benefits from its proximity to vast natural spaces and spectacular sites perfect for outdoor getaways. Each season, the city showcases its finest attractions, pulsating with festivals, grand exhibitions, shows, and major events. The reputation of the old capital is well-established, offering visitors a true journey through time.

A little over 200 km away, following the river, lies the magnificent Côte-Nord region and its famous village of Tadoussac. It is here that you can observe the largest marine mammals along the region’s coast and learn more about the unique ecosystem of the St. Lawrence River.
