Along the St Lawrence River, within minutes of the old Walled City of Quebec, you will discover the beautiful pastoral landscapes of the Island of Orléans and Montmorency Falls.
Cross the bridge to the Isle of Orléans for a scenic drive through the picturesque villages of traditional rural Québec -- a veritable open-air museum boasting more than 600 heritage buildings.
Visit an authentic sugar shack where you will learn about the production of maple syrup. Enjoy a snack of apple pie and tea as well as maple toffee on snow.
You will also stop at the Mauvide-Genest Manor, built in 1734. This rare and exceptional example of the island's French seigneurial past is one of the oldest remaining manor houses in Québec.
Take photos at the base of Montmorency Falls. You're surrounded by breathtaking views and the powerful forces of nature as the water of the Montmorency River roars down the 270-foot cliff to eventually meet with the St Lawrence River. Hop on the tram for a ride to the top of the falls.
