Quebec at a Glance
Québec is a province steeped in tradition and history. It is a former French colony
that has managed to retain, and build upon, its strong links to French history,
lifestyle and culture. Shopfronts and street signs inform passersbys in French
first and English second, giving the province a European flair uncommon to the
rest of North America. Quebec City—or
Ville de Québec—is the capital and remains the only North American city still
fortified by its original city walls. Visitors to the city can't miss the Chateau
Frontenac, a historic hotel that dominates the city's skyline. Montréal
is Canada's second largest city and plays host to an assortment of international
events and festivals. The city is also world-renowned for its nightlife and literary
scene. Québec has much to offer visitors besides its two largest cities. Both
the Laurentian Mountains and
the Saguenay Region offer a variety
of adventures—especially for winter sports. Or visit the spectacular Gaspé
Peninsula in the South St.
Lawrence area and enjoy fresh maple tapped directly from local tress.
