Québec

Where heritage comes alive

With its mix of energetic nightlife, natural beauty and joie de vivre, it doesn’t take long for Québec to charm travellers. A trip here offers the chance to experience the magic of Montréal and Québec City, cosmopolitan centres with olde-world French charm — or drive throughout the historic province to explore every corner, from the mighty St. Lawrence River and the charming Charlevoix region to the stunning Laurentian Mountains.

In Québec, there are myriad ways to connect with the diverse cultures of the 11 First Nations in the province. From the Naspaki Nation in northern Québec, to the Huron-Wendat and Abenaki in the south, they are spread across 55 communities and offer over 145 meaningful travel experiences that enrich and inspire.

Be enthralled by Indigenous legends that have been passed down from generations as you sit around a wood fire in a traditional longhouse, at the Hôtel-Musée Premières Nations in Wendake. Stroll through a recreation of a traditional Mi’kmaq village from the 17th century in Gaspé. If you’re seeking adventure, join the Innu Nation as they share their ancestral knowledge through lobster fishing, whale watching and sea kayaking along the shores of the St. Lawrence River.
