Quebec, Quebec

 

France lives in North America – it seems  so in the province of Quebec.  As soon as the Canada tourist follows the St. Lawrence in an eastern direction, one will discover another cultural area:  Rue or sorties – no more Streets or Exit – on the signposts: Unique on the American Continent.

The city Quebec  holds a fascinating mixture – French-Canadian culture and a way of living with vivacious and hospitable residents in the midst of an old town seeming medieval surrounded by a big city wall.
Quebec city centre has the charm of a bastion.  Lanes as well as the oldest parish church of North America  - the Cathedrale Notre Dame - attract enthusiastic tourists as well as stone town gates and stoned surfaces  and corners.

Not only the beauty and the flair of this town but the whole province let the travelers stay longer.  Excursions to the surroundings can be started from holiday dwellings, motel and numerous hotels.  Only 30km away from the town centre lies the idyllic island of Ile d’Orleans with farming villages and a picturesque church in front of the impressive scenery  St. Lawrence.

The Parc National de la Maurice offers a paradise for canoeists.  Relaxation seekers, anglers and hikers will find the correct holiday supply  in the resorts Bonaventure or Carleton.
