Experience the magic on a Quebec Bike or Walking Tour!

The huge province of Quebec is perfect for exploring on a bike or walking tour. It occupies the eastern part of Canada, with coasts on the North Atlantic, Hudson and James Bays, and the St. Lawrence Seaway (the major shipping channel of the east coast which cuts through the south of the province). The major cities of Quebec and Montreal are both situated in the more populated south on the St. Lawrence. The province has a wide variety of landscapes, climatic regions and vegetation, and therefore numerous different and distinct tourist attractions, routes and getaways to offer. In the most northerly reaches the wilderness prevails, covered by thick forests and clear lakes. This gives way to the snowy mountains of the Laurentians, popular resort country, while down south is the urban sprawl of Canada’s French-speaking cities and the rolling pastures of the farmlands. Quebec has a uniquely French flavor, brought about by the fact that barely 40 years after Columbus discovered America, Jacques Cartier claimed this territory in the name of the King of France; for nearly five centuries this has ensured the continued survival of French culture and language (in Quebec French is the official language and is spoken by more than 80 percent of the population). For decades the province has been dogged by political battles regarding secession, but currently moves to turn Quebec into a sovereign state have been put on the back-burner in favor of concentrating on economic development.
