Welcome to Montreal. This lively multicultural city is rich in history and European charm. An in-depth exploration of the vibrant, French-speaking province of Quebec kicks off in this exciting, modern hub.

Montreal

Start your day with a panoramic tour of Montreal. Take in the sights of the city, including Jacques Cartier Square and McGill University, and along the way, stop inside a bakery to find out why Montreal is famous for its bagels. Top it off with spectacular views from "the mountain" as it's called by locals, named Mount Royal by Jacques Cartier in 1535. The afternoon is yours. Sit in a sidewalk cafe, visit a museum, or browse some of the city's many famous shops. This evening, experience a taste of Montreal during dinner at a local restaurant.

Montreal - La Malbaie, Charlevoix Region

This morning, breakfast awaits at an Indigenous maple museum and grove, where the highlight of the menu is fresh maple syrup! The practice of tapping maple trees has ancient roots from the Indigenous peoples of North America and has resurged as an important connection to nature and ancestral traditions. Next, visit the only studio in North America still producing embossed copper art by hand. During a visit to the family-run Albert Gilles Copper Art Studio and Museum, learn about this disappearing artform, see a demonstration of the detailed work, and enjoy a treat cooked in unique copper molds. Next, it's on to Sanctuaire Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre, the oldest pilgrimage site in North America. Set off for Charlevoix, a picturesque region sculpted between the sea and mountains. Arrive at Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu, a serene and historic castle-like hotel overlooking the St. Lawrence River - and your home for two nights.

La Malbaie - Baie Sainte Catherine - La Malbaie

Today, take to the water aboard a large Zodiac boat for an exhilarating whale-watching* expedition. Embrace nature all around you in the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park and set out to encounter the fascinating and majestic creatures here. A naturalist guide will introduce you to the many species that reside in this marine protected area, like minke whales, fin whales, humpback whales, porpoises, and belugas. Then, the remainder of the day is at leisure to take advantage of your resort's many amenities.** Maybe you'll relax at the spa, hit the golf course, or hike along the property's trails. This evening, enjoy an included dinner.

Charlevoix Region - Baie-Saint-Paul - Quebec City

Begin the day with a visit to Papeterie Saint-Gilles, a workshop and economuseum where craftsmen make paper as they did in the 17th century. During this Impact Moment, connect with artisans who preserve this piece of heritage through the craft of pressing paper made from cotton. Next, head to a family-owned lavender farm to learn about the production of the cherished herbal plant and enjoy a taste of some lavender treats. Then, at Montmorency Falls, stand in awe of the river plunging 272 feet off the Canadian Shield (approximately 100 feet higher than Niagara Falls), taking in stunning views from the many lookout points. Finally, arrive in historic Quebec City, the cradle of French America and North America's only fortified city.

Quebec City - Ile d'Orleans - Quebec City

This morning, set out to explore the city your way, because it's your choice! Join a local guide for a walking tour and stroll the history-filled streets of Old Quebec, hearing stories of days gone by -OR- embark on a panoramic coach tour to experience the beauty and history of both Old and New Quebec, seeing the provincial Parliament, the Saint-Louis Gate, and the site of the original settlement of the city. Then you're off for a culinary adventure to taste your way through Ile d'Orleans. One of the first areas of the province to be colonized by the French, the island is known for its ancestral homes, agriculture, and breathtaking scenery. Stop to sample cheeses, fresh jams, and even goat milk ice cream among a variety of locally made products, with chances to meet local producers along the way. Travel down the island's coast to a vineyard to enjoy a winery tour and wine tasting paired with beautiful views of the island's greenery. Return to Quebec City and spend the remainder of your day at leisure.
