Discover

Quebec Province

The French-speaking Canadian province of Quebec provides a delightful mixture of the European and the North American with spectacular historic sights and welcoming hospitality. The province’s second-most populous city of Montreal is one of the most charming on the entire continent and is home to grandiose French-style architecture, wide tree-lined avenues and quaint backstreets. Montreal is also home to the Parc du Mont-Royal, whose peak offers stunning views of the city all year round.

The city of Quebec is also an unmissable destination on any Canadian itinerary, with its resplendent UNESCO-listed fort offering a glimpse to the colonial days when Britain and France vied for control of this charming area.
