MONTREAL

The second largest French speaking city in the world. A jaunty city with a Latin soul, whose three million inhabitants celebrate their joie de vivre every day of the year. A multi-cultural metropolis graced with green and woody parks, colourful turreted houses and flamboyant murals and a climate controlled underground city of 29 kms of shops, cinemas, restaurants and theatres. A mosaic of international neighbourhoods, a 3,500-restaurant gourmet's dream, a nightowl's playground. An historic island in the mighty St. Lawrence. The gateway to outdoor adventure.



THE OLD PORT AND DOWNTOWN AT DAWN 


In summer, Montréal bares its Latin soul in cafe terraces, street happenings and marathon festivals of fireworks, theatre, and comedy. Montrealers are indefatigable night owls. It's one of the most relaxed comfortable, welcoming cities in the world. 
    Montréal: a scintillating city for all seasons and a gateway to adventure.

QUEBEC

Canada's largest province has fjords, mountains, sea-lashed cliffs, wildlife, and adventure - all within easy reach of cosmopolitan Montreal and charming Old Quebec City, the provincial capital. The vibrant cities blend the best of Europe with the best of North America - easy going hospitality, fabulous cuisine, elegant hotels, cosy inns, nightlife with flair, unique museums and lively festivals of international theatre, comedy, film, fireworks and music.



Quebec and its regions - its motto "I remember"


From the silken sands and blood-red cliffs of the Magdalen Islands, to the wind-blown Arctic tundra of the Far North, to the flaming maple countryside and French-style manor houses of the Charlevoix region and the festive streets of Montreal, Quebec is a land of dazzling variety.
From whale watching to maple-sugar tasting, sand castle building to museum hopping, Canada's "Belle Province" has something for every fancy.
