Quebec

Antoine's view

Although quite far from the Tropics, Quebec is one of my favourite destinations.
I liked it so much that one day, as I was back on my sailboat named Voyage sailing up the Saint Laurent river, I could not resist the temptation to pull my boat out of the water and spend a whole winter in a genuine "cabin in Quebec".

Beautiful Province is far more than just this: magnificent islands such as the islands of Madeleine, Mingan and Anticosti islands, Gaspesie mountains and the ones surrounding the deep Saguenay Fjord. In the summer, whales come here to play, and in the winter, fishermen live in small houses built on ice, not far from the Lake Saint Jean.

Quebec also consists of welcoming, animated, joyful and modern cities such as Québec and Montréal, not far from nature either: a few kilometers away from Quebec, you will find the waterfalls of Montmorency dominating the fabulous Island of Orléans, much cherished by Felix Leclerc. Not far from Montréal, lay a few spectacular regions, the Laurentides Mounts, the "Thousand Islands" scattered on the Saint Laurent river going towards the big lakes, and above all my favourite region in Quebec, that of the Eastern Townships, where the hills glow as of the first days of October with blazing colours of the fall and of the Indian summer.
