Recreation
and Places of Interest
Québec has long
been a popular vacation spot, combining scenic
beauty with a colorful history and a unique
cultural heritage. Millions of people come
to Québec each year
to see the diversity of the landscape, which
offers something for nearly everyone. People
are drawn to the plants and wildlife of the
Gaspé Peninsula, the Saguenay River,
and the Charlevoix region northeast of Québec
City. In addition the province is known for
the rustic charm of the Eastern Townships
and the appeal of the many secluded lakes
in the provincial parks. Québec City
and Montréal, with their historic
landmarks and French-inspired cuisine, have
a European feel that is unique among North
American cities. |
