Tourist Directory

Discover a selection of nearly 200 must-see places to visit in Québec.

The Outaouais is a region where wild nature meets the urban and cultural life of Gatineau, twin city to Ottawa. Gatineau Park, a vast forest at the capital's doorstep, blazes with colour in autumn and fills with ski trails in winter. The Ottawa River and its tributaries are paradise for kayaking, canoeing and fishing. Ottawa's national museums are just minutes from Gatineau, offering a unique cultural experience at the border of Canada's two official languages.

Parc Oméga

Founded in 1991 on 2,200 acres of natural land, this wildlife park offers a formula unique in Québec: drive your own car along more than 12 km of trails where deer, wolves, bears, and bison roam in semi-freedom, and which visitors can feed directly.
