 Mont-Tremblant

Known for being a snow sports haven and for its great national park, it’s an easy sell to any future visitors. During the summer, Tremblant is a great place for kayaking, biking, swimming, hiking and other outdoor activities.

Most likely the least known location on our list, Baise-Saint-Paul is located in the Charlevoix region and is primarily known for its art galleries, various local product shops and great restaurant scene. It is regarded as a Quebecois cultural hub with many amenities to suit people of different tastes. The town is surrounded by mountain ranges where you can find multiple hiking trails if that’s your thing! Baie-St-Paul is also home to quite a bit of farmland and you can actually visit these farms and purchase their local produce and products which are worth the trip alone!  

Ville de Québec

Quebec City, Quebec’s national capital is probably one of the most famous locations here but with good reason. As some may know, Quebec City is a Unesco world heritage site and has about over 400 years of history to it.

Gatineau

Gatineau is one of Quebec’s major cities situated on the border of Quebec and Ontario. In fact it is only separated by the Ottawa river and once you’re there you can head over to Ottawa freely if you wish to do so! Gatineau offers a unique urban vibe featuring a variety of restaurants, nightlife, local homemade products & crafts and microbreweries which are easily accessible by bike or walk due to its intricate paths. Among its other amenities it also features the Casino du Lac-Leamy, the Canadian Museum of History and Les Promenades Gatineau which is a huge newly renovated mall.

Montebello

Montebello est une ville située à l'est de l'Outaouais. Elle est surtout connue pour le Château Montebello, un hôtel de villégiature très prisé et la plus grande structure en rondins au monde – un spectacle à ne pas manquer, même si vous n'y séjournez pas ! L'établissement a également accueilli des personnalités politiques de renom, notamment plusieurs présidents américains, et a été le théâtre du sommet du G7 en 1981. En dehors de la station, et plus particulièrement en ville, vous trouverez une multitude d'activités de plein air pour tous les âges, ainsi qu'une rue principale facilement accessible bordée de petites boutiques, de microbrasseries et de restaurants. Montebello est également une destination prisée pour le ski, le golf et la navigation de plaisance, et accueille le Montebello Rock, un festival annuel de rock/métal qui met généralement en vedette des artistes de renom.
