Autumn walk on a Quebec country road

In the fall, Québec’s landscapes unveil their rich colours. From orange-yellows to blazing reds, nature dons its fineries for our enjoyment.

As summer’s frenzied landscapes give way to a completely different type of scenery, we slow our pace to better observe nature’s metamorphosis. We taste the fall’s comforting savours and delight in this new season that, while fleeting, will leave us with lasting memories.

The air feels cooler. It’s time to pull on a sweater and savour a comforting hot chocolate. The silence at sunset draws us into our thoughts as we gaze in the distance at a serene lake that reflects the leaves’ heart-warming colours.

Walking is the best way to enjoy the fall colours. Seeing the wind twirl leaves in a cheerful dance, smelling the odour of a wood fire and hearing the crackle of leaves under our feet satisfy the senses and the heart.

Half of Québec is covered in woodland and the province is dotted with 3 million lakes. More than 200 areas are protected by parks and wildlife reserves. Québec is also dotted with more than 180 major regional and municipal parks.

Enjoy the season!
