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! Extrait de la publication 7 Extrait de la publication Escape2 See the list of addresses on p. 121
