The Laurentians, north of Montreal, are a four season tourist region of international renown. Mountains, plains and valleys, countless lakes and rivers, picturesque and animated villages, a wide array of year-round sporting activities and cultural events continue to draw hundreds of thousands of visitors to this territory year after year. Numerous hotels, inns, lodges and restaurants attend to the comfort of the vacationer.


Initially this area was settled by pioneers arriving from the four corners of the world, however with the advent of the railroad and the car the Laurentians rapidly developed into one of the favourite tourist destinations of the province of Quebec. Be it the romance of spring, the heat of summer, the flamboyant colours of autumn or the abundant snow of winter, each season brings joy and satisfaction to its residents and visitors.
