Lanaudière is an authentic region nestled between metropolitan Montreal and the great Laurentians. Its dense forests, rivers and quiet lakes make it a prime destination for canoeing, hiking and fishing. Joliette is the regional capital and hosts the famous Festival de Lanaudière each summer, one of the most important classical music festivals in the Americas. The region is dotted with maple groves, artisan farms and villages whose architecture reflects traditional Quebec heritage.
