 Being
Canada's largest province does not mean it lacks in
entertainment
and
gorgeous sceneries. A melting pot of artistic forms originating in
Europe and North America, Québec is alive with creative energy. The
obvious Francophone cultural pride is displayed in literature, music,
theatre, dance, paintings and sculptures.
Visitors from every corner of the world gather to attend the various
annual festivals, which consistently draw international praise. The
calendar of cultural events and activities vary from city to city
throughout the year, but one thing's for certain: they are always
packed. In doing so you might learn a thing or two about the culture
from attending these festivals.
Whether you speak French fluently or have no experience with the
language, the gracious residents of Québec are happy to accommodate.
Among the most popular shows are the Festival de théâtre des Amériques,
the Festival international de nouvelle danse, the Just for Laughs
Festival, and the Festival d'été de Québec. Along with the Montréal Jazz
Festival, the renowned film festivals in Montréal and
Abitibi-Témiscamingue make one thing clear: in Québec's cities the
nightlife never stops.
While travellers may come for the entertainment, many end up staying for
the awe-inspiring physical beauty of the province. In summer the
Montréal Botanical Garden, one of the largest gardens in the world, is
in full bloom for all to see. Throughout Montréal and Québec City there
are many important historical sites that have been preserved to capture
the heart and soul of the French culture in North America. So make sure
your digital camera is fully charged, before you go out and take
pictures.
Even so, others still come to see Québec’s 27 national parks: each one
is a virtual paradise featuring extraordinary ecological surroundings.
The Parc national de Miguasha, on the Gaspé's Chaleur Bay, is featured
on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This unique area is known for the
incredible preservation of its plant and fish specimen, which could very
well be 370 million years old.
With a remarkable combination of nature and cosmopolitan culture, it is
to no surprise that Québec remains one of the most popular tourist
destinations in the world.
