Experience the majestic St. Lawrence River—rich in history, scenic beauty, and international charm. Quebec City, the cradle of French civilization in North America, is nestled beside the St. Lawrence River, where enchanting old stone houses cozy up to great religious institutions built from the same stone. Old Quebec, a World Heritage Site, is a sheer delight for history buffs, amongst the charming old city walls, where a walking tour will take you past streets that are lined with magnificent churches, fragrant gardens, chic boutiques, and several historical points of interest. Trois Rivières, located at the three-pronged mouth of the St. Maurice River, has been the world capital of the pulp and paper industry since the 1930s. It is also officially the "National Poetry Capital of Quebec", where you can find numerous plaques displaying poetic verses installed across the center of the city. Montreal exudes old world charm, French joie de vivre and a modern style all its own. Discover Montreal's many charming facets with a visit to Mount Royal, which towers above the city, the downtown sector with a rich historical past, the city's main shopping artery with the elegance of its boutiques, and finally, Old Montreal with its preserved testimonies of all bygone eras. Toronto is a delight to explore from Eaton Centre Shopping Mall, where you can find anything available in the world, to the north end's Chinatown, to the Bata Shoe museum. Discover Inuit Indian artifacts, the modern sculptures of Henry Moore and Pop Art in the Art Gallery of Ontario. Throughout the town there are art museums and exhibits to fulfill every art lover’s dreams. Explore all these ports that convey the charm of the great European capitals that inspired the cities' founders.
