Regions to Visit Beyond Québec City Area

The grandiose landscapes of Charlevoix inspire artists, stimulate adventurers and soothe city dwellers in search of tranquility. Observe the fascinating spectacle of whales, meet the artisans of a fertile land or climb the highest peaks! From Québec City, whether you take the St. Lawrence Route, the Mountain Road or the Flavour Trail, you can expect amazement in any season.

All you need to do is hop on the Québec-Lévis ferry or cross the bridge to reach this region with 200 km of coastline, an archipelago of 21 islands and lovely hills. Take the time to stop for a coffee in one of the friendly villages, to taste the products of the many maple groves or to practice your favorite outdoor activity. Psit! It is from Lévis that you will have one of the best views of Old Québec and the Château Frontenac.

The best way to get to Mauricie is by the Chemin du Roy: the first roadway between Québec City and Montréal that wheeled vehicles could use. Along the route, discover the history of New France thanks to several points of interest. Further north, the region extends to the boreal forest in the famous La Mauricie National Park, where you can appreciate stunning landscapes. Halfway between Québec City and Montreal, Trois-Rivières' dynamic downtown is worth a visit.

Imagine a land where a lake is as huge as an inland sea and where the walls of a fjord rise to the sky! Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean is the ideal place to enjoy nautical sports. In addition to the magnificent sandy beaches, families enjoy visiting the wild zoo, the historic village of Val-Jalbert and the Cap Jaseux Adventure Park. In winter, the large amount of snow received favours snowshoeing, downhill skiing and backcountry skiing, with frequent powder snow.
