Quebec Travel Guide

North America's only French walled city and winter carnival

📍 Destination Overview

Quebec is Canada's largest French-speaking province. Quebec City is North America's only walled city, with the Château Frontenac towering over the St. Lawrence River and cobblestone lanes of Petit Champlain. Montreal is the second-largest French city in North America, home to Notre-Dame Basilica and Mount Royal. Winter brings the Quebec Winter Carnival with ice sculptures; summer offers the Montreal Jazz Festival and Gaspé Peninsula scenery.
