Less than 7 hours from the UK, the diverse Province of Québec is closer than you may think. Explore the cobbled streets of Vieux Montréal, enjoy the café culture and fantastic shopping before setting off on your adventure. Head north to St Michel des Saints and Auberge du Lac Taureau, where hiking, kayaking and black bear observation are available, then continue on to Sacacomie Lodge, with its Geos Spa and lakeshore beach. Optional guided activities include riding, hiking, helicopter/seaplane flights, black bear viewing and First Nations cultural visits.

Travel east to UNESCO World Heritage site Québec City, the only walled city in North America with a vibrant mix of French and English cultures. Perhaps visit the historic Plains of Abraham and Petit Champlain for local arts and crafts. Head south of the St Lawrence to the Eastern Townships through beautiful rural scenery and pretty villages to Sherbrooke with its many parks and gardens. This tour ends with the pleasant drive back to Montréal for your flight home.
