Tempt your taste buds with the flavors of the Island of Orléans.
Within minutes of the Old Walled City of Québec, beautiful pastoral landscapes lead to the Island of Orléans and Montmorency Falls. Along the St-Lawrence River and in the foothills of the Laurentian Mountains, the views of the surrounding countryside and the skyline of Québec are spectacular.
Take a step back in time as you cross the bridge to the Île d'Orléans for a scenic drive through the picturesque villages of traditional rural Québec. First settled by the French more than 350 years ago, the island is a veritable open-air museum, boasting more than 600 heritage buildings. As the first colonists cultivated the land, they became self-sufficient in various trades, including fishing, blacksmithing, carpentry, saddlery, tanning, shipbuilding, and seafaring.
Discover the local produce of Orléans with a taste of several products, including sweet delicacies made from fresh fruit, some interesting local wines, and a goat cheese tasting experience. Chat with the producers to learn about the care and passion driving these farm favorites.
