Quebec, Walking
Eastern Townships
Travel back in time and take in the old-world flavour of Quebec's Eastern Townships. In the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, uncover the delights of charming French villages, lush green valleys, enchanted woods, and idyllic farmland. The cross-Quebec Route Verte, abandoned rail lines and forested pathways will lead you from stately Victorian Mansions to captivating covered bridges to the underground labyrinth of one of Canada's oldest copper mines. Hunt for that one-of-a-kind memento in the shops and artists' galleries you encounter along the way. Embrace the region's storied past and culture in one of many scenic villages; enjoy your nights in cozy accommodations and remember to sample the finest in local cuisine. The romance of this landscape is sure to leave you with a lasting impression.
