Canada: The Canadian East Route, tailor-made by car

Set out on our popular self-drive trip around Lower and Upper Canada, discovering the urban centres and rural splendour of Ontario and Quebec while soaking up the English and French heritage of Canada. Few tours can claim to stop off at Canada's four big cities. Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City and Montreal are all awaiting you! Toronto is the most modern Canadian city, boasting exceptional views from the CN Tower and offering the chance to enjoy fascinating ice hockey or baseball games. Ottawa is the true reflection of the country: everything is clean and tidy, with the city perfectly blending in with nature. Hence the sheer number of pedestrian areas, such as Parliament Hill or Sparks Street, as well as the vast parks and the culinary delights found at the city's food markets. The typical Canadian dishes are Tourtière and Poutine, which are true delights, as are all the dishes that follow the local maxim of "farm to table". This truly comes to light in Quebec, the most French of the cities that you'll visit. Strolling around Petit Champlain, along Rue du Trésor or around Place Royale will remind you of Paris. So much so that you can visit the city's very own Notre Dame. Just like the French capital, Quebec is full of life, artists and bohemians. Montreal, on the other hand, is the city of cool. You'll love its hippy, gay, Chinese and Latino neighbourhoods. Very close to here are the most impressive waterfalls in the country: the Chutes-Montmorency. They're 30 metres higher than the Niagara Falls, which you can also visit to make a comparison. They are a prodigy of nature, just like the Natural Parks of Jacques Cartier or Mauricie, which will give you a fascinating insight into the animal and plant world of Canada. Last but not least, you can take a trip out to Toronto Islands or a cruise around Thousand Islands to get another perspective of the country. Enjoy an unforgettable trip!
