Le Québec maritime
Find the peace and relaxation you seek on the Îles-de la-Madeleine, where the lush valleys and sandy beaches of these twelve islands are ripe for exploration by sea or by land. Wildlife is abundant, with over 200 species of birds, the Island Aquarium, and wildlife sanctuaries.
Explore the coves and beaches on the Gaspé Peninsula or catch your own Atlantic salmon! Take a look into the past at the famous Percé Rock, where the fossils date back 375 million years, or at Parc national de Miguasha, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The maritime region of Bas-Saint-Laurent offers hiking and cycling trails that will take you through the area’s mountains and valleys, while whale-watching excursions show off the Saguenay fjord.
The natural wonders of Manicouagan make it the perfect place to observe wildlife. Beluga and fin whales can be seen by boat and occasionally from shore. Travel to the Duplessis region for a taste of the true Canadian North, where puffins and white-tailed deer abound.
