Québec province offers a magnificent holiday experience with a French flavour and with direct non stop flights to Montreal from London Gatwick, there are twice as many seats to choose from.
From Montreal as the gateway explore the whole province of Quebec by rail or road.. we recommend you see the cities as well as the countryside.. it is such a beautiful region, with a warm friendliness that you won't find anywhere else in Canada.
From the natural grandeur of the mountains, rivers and flatlands, to the narrow, bustling streets of fortified Québec City, there's something for everyone. Sample 400 years of history at museums, galleries and the impressive Parliament buildings.
As you'd expect with such a French influence, fashion, shopping and dining are well catered for. From department stores to quirky boutiques, casual to fine dining, there's a venue to suit every taste. And for a shopping spree with a difference, head for Montréal's underground shopping network. With over 2,000 shops, better bring an extra suitcase.
You'll find the Québecois fun and friendly and you'll want to join in their many festivals. There's the International Jazz festival, the Just for Laugh's comedy festival, and later in the year Québec City plays host to the largest winter festival in the world. With Direct Non Stop flights to Montreal all year round, you can experience it in every season!
Québec is an all year round destination that's just as captivating in summer as it is in winter. Tremblant is probably the best known in the UK as a ski resort - but it’s a 12 month round resort that offers just as much outdoor fun and excitement in summer as it does in winter. It’s great for families and got lots of nightlife and of course great skiing and boarding! There are also many other smaller ski resorts and some wonderful towns to visit, all within a short drive of the major cities.
Québec is best enjoyed outdoors, and it's no wonder with the Laurentian Mountains in its midst, the St Lawrence River, the Saguenay Fjord, the Lac St Jean and not forgetting the Atlantic Ocean. There are so many activities to take part in the only problem you'll have is deciding what to do next: hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, golfing, skiing, whale-watching, fishing, cruising…
