Southern Québec is located on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River between the major cities of Montréal and Québec City, and the American border. It encompasses three of Québec's tourist regions: the Eastern Townships, Centre-du-Québec and Chaudière-Appalaches. The birthplace of rural life in Canada, this uniquely charming region captivates visitors with its beauty, the richness of its history, its famous local produce, gourmet delights and the warmth of the people who bring it to life. Southern Québec is the must-see autumn destination. During your next visit to Québec, come see our brilliant fall foliage in the highest density of sugar bushes in the province!
