Walking trails, farm visits, themed gardens, canoe trips, train rides and tropical greenhouse; there is definitely something for everyone in this beautiful space where nature has found its place.

In addition to picnic areas and pétanque courts, it's the perfect place to relax with the family on the last beautiful days of summer.
For Quebec City residents, a walk on Île d'Orléans is a must when the first colors of autumn arrive. Inhabited by its many orchards, historic centres and art galleries, theÎle d'Orléans offers an unforgettable stay to its thousands of visitors every year.

Kwe! Meeting Aboriginal Cultures
Although First Nations have profoundly influenced the history of Quebec, few of us can boast a thorough knowledge of Aboriginal cultures. The KWE event! Encounter with Indigenous Peoples, aims to introduce these nations to the general public. Crafts, traditional cuisine, tales, legends and music will be in the spotlight for four days of festivities from August 30 to September 2. Renowned Aboriginal artists such as A Tribe Called Red and Kashtin will host the National Assembly Square in the evening. To top it off, admission is free for everyone!
