There are 22 tourist regions in Québec, the largest Canadian province. According to Bonjour Québec, a tourist region is a distinct area of the province that visitors can enjoy.
In the Nunavik region, home to the Inuit, you can see the Northern Lights, celestial lights that occur in the northern hemisphere and Pingualuit crater. Created by a meteorite and made into a national park, this crater contains water that is extraordinary pure.
Mauricie, a tourist region in southern Québec, is the site of the first ironworks in Canada and contains an attraction called City of Energy or Cité de l'énergie, a theme park highlighting the area's industrial past. Mauricie also offers various outdoor activities such as kayaking and hiking during warm months and skiing and skating in the winter.
Near Mauricie are two major cities and tourist regions: Québec City and Montréal. Montréal is home to the Notre-Dame Basilica, a large Gothic Revival cathedral that hosts an annual Mozart festival featuring the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, and Québec City has a distinctly Old World flair with neighborhoods such as Old Port and la Petit Champlain.
In Saguenay---Lac-Saint-Jean, the Saint Jean Lake and Saguenay River help create the beautiful scenery of this region. There is also the Zoo Sauvage de Saint-Félicien, which allows visitors to see animals freely living in their natural environment.
