L’Ancienne-Lorette

Start your day by exploring the impressive Chute Montmorency, a waterfall that is even taller than Niagara Falls. You can admire the falls from different viewpoints, take a cable car ride to the top for a stunning panoramic view, or challenge yourself by climbing the stairs next to the waterfall for a closer look at the cascading water.

Head to Old Quebec City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to immerse yourself in its rich history and charming cobblestone streets. Visit iconic landmarks such as the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, Place Royale, and the Citadelle of Quebec. Don’t miss out on trying some traditional Quebecois cuisine at one of the many cozy cafes or restaurants.

Take a short drive to Parc de la Chute-Montmorency for a nature-filled experience. Hike along the trails, have a picnic with a view of the falls, or even zipline across the Montmorency River for an adrenaline rush. The park also offers a visitor center where you can learn about the flora, fauna, and geology of the area.

Stroll through Quartier Petit Champlain, one of the oldest shopping districts in North America, known for its picturesque streets lined with boutiques, art galleries, and souvenir shops. Find unique handicrafts, Quebec-made products, and local artisanal goods as you soak in the historic charm of the area. Don’t forget to indulge in a sweet treat from one of the many bakeries or chocolate shops.

If you’re visiting in August, don’t miss the spectacular fireworks extravaganza known as Les Grands Feux Loto-Quebec. Held over several nights on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, this international fireworks competition showcases dazzling displays synchronized to music, creating a magical atmosphere. Join the crowds along the waterfront or book a special dinner cruise for a front-row seat to the show.
