4-star stays

Montreal: Join your Local Specialist to explore Old Montréal, including the Old Port and Place Jacques-Cartier. As you walk through this historic part of the city, learn more about Montréal’s early development, its connection to the St. Lawrence River and the public spaces that have shaped local life for generations.

Tour Hydromel Charlevoix, an économusée, where artisanal know-how and Charlevoix terroir come together. Learn how honey from beehives across the region is crafted in small batches, with each variety reflecting its location and the surrounding botanicals. You’ll follow the process from harvest to bottling, with tastings of honey, honey wine and honey spirits offering a closer look at the flavours of Charlevoix.

Visit Isle-aux-Coudres, where river views, maritime heritage and local food traditions shape everyday life. Stop at Boulangerie Bouchard, known for its baked goods and ready-to-eat specialities, and visit Cidrerie and Vergers Pedneault, a family-run producer known for its ciders and apple-based products. Along the shoreline, you may also spot the wooden stake-fishing structures still used seasonally in this part of Québec.

Stop at the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, a major Catholic pilgrimage site with a history that stretches back more than 350 years. Known across Québec for its place in the province’s religious life, the basilica is recognised for its scale, detailed interior and long tradition of welcoming visitors from around the world.

Quebec City: Join a Local Specialist and explore Québec City's winding streets and historic sites for an in-depth discovery of a city that exudes all the charm of old Europe. Walk the narrow streets of UNESCO listed Old Québec and delve into Québec City's French and English military past as you pass the Plains of Abraham and fortified Citadel.

La Malbaie: Join the team at Au Poulailler for lunch in Baie-Saint-Paul, set beside the Gouffre River. Here, Amélie, Réjean and Mathieu have transformed a former commercial chicken coop into a greenhouse and community food space, bringing together agriculture, food and sustainable renovation.

La Malbaie: Stay at Le Petit Manoir du Casino in Pointe-au-Pic, a family-owned hotel above the St. Lawrence River. Opened by Denis Beaubien in 1995 and still run by the family today, the property reflects Charlevoix’s tradition of warm Québec hospitality. In 2017, it introduced O’Quartz Spa, Québec’s first cliffside spa, built into the rock with heated pools, saunas and a quartz waterfall.

Quebec City: At the Huron Traditional Site, where you’ll learn more about history and culture through a guided visit. Continue your MAKE TRAVEL MATTER Experience at Sagamité, where Huron-Wendat cuisine and traditional storytelling come together as you raise a glass to your journey over dinner with your fellow travellers.
