More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You pull away from Old Quebec and the city’s stone façades give way to wide river views, tidy orchards and the sudden thunder of a fall unseen until you crest a ridge. In this four-hour private countryside tour you’ll ride in a Chrysler Pacifica through rural parishes, stop at a copper art gallery, walk the viewpoints above Montmorency Falls and taste orchard goods on Île d’Orléans — a compact agricultural neighbor that supplies much of the region’s seasonal produce.
