Adventuring in Québec
(Editor’s note: Québec offers a diverse contrast of activities and attractions. Transversing the Canadian province from west to northeast is a journey through valleys and rivers of the Outaouais then ascending into the mountains of the Laurentians. Great adventures can be combined with the fascinating cultural and historical aspects of Québec’s great cities: Montreal and Québec . In June, we shared some adventures in the Outaouis and Laurentians, this month we feature the cultural of its two wonderful cities: Montréal and Québec.)
Multi-layered and multi-cultured, Québec’s Montréal is as kissable as the bright cherry-red lips in the “O” of its logo. Beneath its sidewalks there are 20 miles of highways and bridges, subways, contiguous blocks of shopping malls, parking lots; all a massive network which surfaces into dozens of districts or boroughs.
