FRENCH ORIGINS
English isn鈥檛 蚕耻茅产别肠鈥檚 first language, but the province鈥檚 great cities of Quebec and Montreal only benefit from the French connection. Meanwhile, places like Mont-Tremblant, the Laurentian Mountains, Saguenay Fjord and Gasp茅 Peninsula have a beauty that is pure Canadian.
Vive le difference. The province of 蚕耻茅产别肠 has a history and a modern-day continental flavour that sets it apart from any other region in Canada. Whilst strolling round the elegant byways of Quebec City you will find its French origins are constantly re-affirmed; in the French language shop and street signs and in the traditional architecture. Quebec City, for instance, is the only city in the entire of North America that still has its original town wall fortifications. Whilst Montreal is a symphony of tile-hung towers and steeply-raked roofs that wouldn鈥檛 look out of place in Rouen or Paris.
But you鈥檒l want to see beyond the cities, so make sure your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Canada takes you to the cool, gladed forests and the dramatically rugged scenery of the Laurentian Mountains, just a few hours from the Montreal. Here you鈥檒l find Mont-Tremblant, a year-round playground with seasonal tours and events tailored to suit skiers and winter sports enthusiasts, golfers, cyclists, hikers and keen anglers. Similarly, the mighty Saguenay Fjord presents truly spectacular panoramic backdrops to activities like whale watching, kayaking, hiking and golf. The Gasp茅 Peninsula, meanwhile has scenery that will challenge photographers and landscape painters alike.
