Celebrate Quebec Holidays with a Joie de Vie

There is no better time to plan a Quebec vacation than during energetic Quebec holidays. The best party of the year is held every July in honour of the Fete Nationale, (the National Party) thrown on St. Jean Baptiste Day. The celebration is held on June 24, in honour of St. John the Baptist. Really, it is just a reason to commemorate the French Catholic heritage of the province by holding barbecues, parades, concerts, bonfires and dances. There are massive public events in Montreal and Quebec City, as well as hundreds of smaller events and festivals held in every town, village and neighbourhood across the province.

A Feast for the Senses in Quebec

Quebec offers lovely landscapes, charming villages and great entertainment, but it also gives you the chance to experience some incredible cuisine. Quebec is renowned for its artisanal breads, its heritage cheeses, its freshly grown fruits and vegetables, and its abundance of unique and delicious flavours. Taste the French influence in the soup a l’onion gratinee (French onion soup) and sweet and savoury crepes. Sample the excellent ethnic cooking at the Vietnamese, South American and African restaurants which can be found in Montreal and Quebec. Of course, Quebec has created its own delights, so make room for tortiere (meat pie), feves au lard (beans) and the famous and hearty ragouts (stews) that restaurants in every town and village will serve.
