As a vast mountainous plateau cut by deep valleys, Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier is host to one of the most beautiful glacial valleys in Québec, the spectacular Vallée de la Jacques-Cartier. The Jacques Cartier River, calm in some places and turbulent in others, has sliced a 550-metre-deep channel into the plateau. A coniferous forest dominates the high plateaus, and deciduous trees people the deep valleys. Here, nature is both inspiring and serene.

Worthy of the most famous museums, the decor of the Parc national de l’Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé is truly majestic. Everyone has seen the Rocher Percé on a photograph ... but to see it close up, aboard a cruise ship for example, is something else. Every summer, gannets, penguins, gulls, guillemots and puffins meet by the thousands on the rock and on Bonaventure Island.
