Québec (Capitale-Nationale)·Islands & Coastline

Île d'Orléans (Island Tour, Chemin Royal)

Cradle of several founding French-Canadian families, Île d'Orléans offers, just fifteen minutes from Québec City, a journey back in time through six traditional villages, orchards, vineyards, and market gardens.

Settled as early as the 17th century, Île d'Orléans preserves an agricultural landscape inherited directly from the seigneurial regime: narrow, elongated plots of land perpendicular to the river. The Chemin Royal, which has encircled the island since 1744, connects its six municipalities, many of which rank among Quebec's most beautiful villages. Today, the island is an agritourism paradise: vineyards, chocolate makers, market gardens, strawberry fields and sprawling orchards dot the landscape, offering the chance to meet local producers and artisans directly.
