Authentic
Québec
Authentic Québec—criss-crossed by tumultuous rivers, scattered with pristine
lakes, and covered by fertile plains and vast forests—offers first and foremost
escape, and the serenity that comes through communing with nature. Its lodges
and resorts, easily accessible from the great urban centres of Montréal and
Québec City, offer a captivating panorama and an invitation to adventure.
Settled in the heart of the first region of New France to be colonized, the term
“authentic Québec,” as used in this guide, covers the regions of Lanaudière and
Mauricie. Encircled by immense spreads of forest, its towns and villages can
boast of an exceptional architectural heritage and popular traditions that are
alive and well. Everywhere, the welcome is both warm and heartfelt.
6
To experience the essentials of authentic Québec, and to uncover its hidden
treasures, our guide offers, through chapters organized along various themes,
a selection of remarkable activities, attractions and sites that will lead you to
discover and marvel at this region. Then our “Best of” section lists the most
outstanding activities according to your interests and personality, from the
hedonist to the adventurer—not to mention the family! Finally, you will find, at
the end of this guide, an address section which provides all the practical infor­
mation you need for all the places mentioned in each of the thematic chapters.
So go ahead and lose yourself in the majestic landscapes of authentic Québec,
with its Native roots, its proudly preserved French traditions and, above all, its
unique culture distinguished by an inspiring and energetic spirit.
Happy discoveries!

opportunity to spoil yourself!

and Eating Well!
If you’re in La Tuque, you must go to the
Boutique Gourmande d’Amalthée, if
only to chow down on the delicious tapas
(rabbit “wings,” rillette meatballs, wild
mushroom tarts), grilled game, or the
ever-appealing daily special, all of them

casserole, stuffed crêpes)! And you will
