Description:
SAINT-JEAN BAPTISTE. The Plains of Abraham, named for farmer Abraham Martin who grazed his cattle here in Quebec's earliest days, is perhaps best known as the site of two pivotal battles of the Seven Years War (a.k.a. the French and Indian War). Throughout the park there are kilometers of meandering trails punctuated by numerous monuments and memorials commemorating these and other battles, along with several other attractions. During the summer months, Abraham's Bus provides a narrated tour of the park that everyone will find interesting (a special "Summer Package" rate covers admission to all of the park's attractions, including Abraham's Bus). During the winter, 15km of trails are groomed for Nordic skiing, and equipment rental is available. Call 418-648-4212 for recorded trail condition information. |

VANIER. It's a mall! It's an amusement park! It's...both! A shopper's nirvana, Les Galeries has over 250 stores, from major retailers to small independent boutiques. It's got the requisite food court, two multi-screen cinemas, an IMAX theater and plenty more. But it also happens to be the province of Québec's only indoor theme park, complete with rides, miniature golf, an ice skating rink, an arcade and a playground, all under one roof. Perfect for that rainy day when the kids have seen about all they care to see of the inside of your hotel! |

Description:
VALCARTIER. Village Vacances Valcartier is a modern campground with full facilities, but that's not its biggest selling point. The complex also boasts Canada's biggest water park, with more than 30 exciting water slides and a huge wave pool for thrill-seekers and lazy-river rides and water playgrounds for little kids and those who prefer a less frenetic pace. Other warm-weather activities include go-karts, climbing walls, a fun trampoline park, miniature golf, rafting and canoeing and hiking trails. In the winter, the water park transforms into a Winter Playground: waterslides convert to high-speed ice slides, hiking paths morph into skating paths, and 17 lifts quickly whisk you up for the next thrilling descent. There's a fleet of snowmaking equipment, so even if the weather doesn't cooperate you can enjoy a wintry outing. |

Description:
This awe-inspiring river gorge and waterfall is one of the gems of the area known as the Beaupré Coast. As the Sainte-Anne-du-Nord River winds its way to the I'Île d'Orleans Channel, it makes deep cuts into the rocky countryside, offering some of the most spectacular vistas you can imagine. To make access to the gorge easier, the park's curators have created a series of dramatic pathways and swinging bridges that take guests right to the edge. From Québec City, the park is approximately a 45-minute drive. |
