      Highlights

      • Watch how the locks are used in the historic trail of Chambly Canal.
      • Taste apple vermouth while passing through the infamous cider route of Quebec.
      • Get lost in the small historic towns of Quebec and experience the lives of New France soldiers.
      • Admire the majestic St Lawrence River and take in the views from special lookouts.
      Driving from Montreal to Quebec City can be a boring flat trip on a highway or you can create a great day that takes you through lush countryside, gastronomic spots and historic towns. Montreal and Quebec City are major destinations but there is much more the province can offer. The natural beauty of Canada is renown worldwide. However, the boutique cider and cheese producers are waiting to be discovered in hidden corners of the country. So, buckle up and hit the road from Montreal to explore the rural and slower life of Quebec's villages. On the way, you'll discover a historic canal trail, taste the famous ciders of Quebec and experience the history of New France, all adorned with the unique Quebecois culture. No trip to Quebec would be complete without tasting the local delicacy poutine and this trip is no exception!
