Five kilometres from Québec City, the island is at the border of the St. Lawrence River and its estuary. It is the largest heritage site of Québec: 18 of the roughly 3600 buildings on the island are designated historical monuments. Long referred to as "Québec City’s garden" with its abundance of fine food products, Île d'Orléans is a perfect destination for agritourism.

Tour the island and discover the architecture, history and heritage of its charming villages along the St. Lawrence River. One of them, Saint-Pierre-de-l'île-d'Orléans, is also the home of one of the most renowned French Canadian poets of the 20th century, Félix Leclerc, who lived on the island for thirty years. Enjoy delicious terroir products (apple and strawberry picking, cheese, wine, cider, maple products) on your way.
