Ontario and Québec

The Eastern Provinces.
History along the St Lawrence.

On the shores of the Great Lakes, close to the United States border, Toronto is Canada’s most populous city, its skyline dominated by the CN Tower. Québec City, a fortified city on the banks of the St Lawrence River, was founded by Samuel de Champlain in 1608. Its colonial core, Vieux-Québec, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, watched over by the beautiful Château Frontenac hotel.
