Adventures abound in this rural area along the St. Lawrence River (in the southern region), on its country roads, and in its wilderness (further to the north). Almost everywhere, you can find trails for hikers, cyclists, skiers, in-line skaters, ATV enthusiasts and snowmobilers. Nestled in the rural countryside, the towns vibrate to the rhythm of cultural and sporting events, including the <a title="Festival international de Lanaudière" href="http://www.bonjourquebec.com/ca-en/fiches/en/evenements/430123.html"> Festival international de Lanaudière</a>, the most prestigious classical music festival in Canada. Gourmets and gourmands can indulge in the regional specialties of the Lanaudière, one of the oldest agricultural regions in Québec.</font><p> <font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2">Parc national du Mont-Tremblant</font><p> <font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2">The untamed beauty of the Laurentian forest, a land of lakes, mountains and rivers where wildlife roams free: this is Mont-Tremblant Park, the largest provincial protected area. Open all-year-round, it provides a safe haven for mammals such as black bears, white-tailed deer, moose, wolf, raccoons or foxes, and for close to 200 species of birds, including the bald eagle, an endangered species in Québec. Lakes, rivers, cascading waterfalls, and mountain peaks are plentiful, allowing for a scope of outdoor activities such as hiking, canoeing, mountain biking, fishing, camping, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. To further your experience, rangers-naturalists provide interpretative tours on subjects such as history, beavers, geology and cervidae.</font><p> <font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"> <a href="http://www.bonjourquebec.com/qc-en/fiches/en/index/lan_001.html"> More information about Lanaudière</a></font></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <img src="http://www.bonjourquebec.com/fileadmin/Image/splash/logo_tq.jpg" alt="Logo Ministère du Tourisme" align="right"></td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
