Quebec is the largest province in Canada, covering 1,667,712 square kilometers. However, Quebec also refers to the capital where the provincial government is based. To give you an idea of the vastness of the only French-speaking province in Eastern Canada: Germany would easily fit in there 4.3 times! So there is plenty of space for spectacular sights—especially off the beaten path! This is not your typical travel guide. Marc Lautenbacher has discovered and explored the other side of Quebec. He highlights places that are almost right at your "doorstep," yet are rarely visited. Spots that are so far off the beaten track that you could feel almost completely alone in the world. Many of these are known only to the locals. And some highlights only reveal their charm when you learn about their biological, historical, or cultural background in the book.
