FOFA Montreal and Quebec City Tour

Offsite

We begin our custom tour in Montréal, the second largest French-speaking city in the world—after Paris. This bilingual, cosmopolitan city was the first in North American to be designated a UNESCO City of Design by the Global Alliance for Cultural Diversity. We will have a comprehensive city tour, visit Montréal’s renowned museums, see the Gardens of Light at the Botanical Gardens, visit a folk art studio, experience the international gastronomy of Montréal, and see the AURA Show at Notre Dame Basilica.

Leaving Montréal, we will travel to Québec by motor coach via the Eastern Townships with a stop in Magog to visit the Musée d’Art Naïf and have lunch in picturesque North Hatley.

We will then arrive in Québec, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Old Québec, with its cobblestone streets and well-preserved old-world architecture, is the hub of French Canadian culture and a top foodie destination.

After a comprehensive city tour we will take a short ride to Wendake, home to the Iroquoian-speaking Huron-Wendat Nation. Included is a traditional Indigenous dinner. Just minutes outside of Québec, we will follow the Beaupre coast to the 278’ Montmorency Falls (taller than Niagara Falls). Visits to museums, a behind-the-scenes folk art tour and meeting local artists will be topped off with a local tastes-of-Québec food tour and lunch at the historic Hôtel Château Frontenac.
