Chaudière-Appalaches

Say hello to Québec’s most beautiful villages

So-named for the rivière Chaudière that crosses it and for the Appalachian foothills in its southern reaches near the Maine border, Chaudière-Appalaches is a fertile garden. The shoreline facing Québec City unfurls a string of some of the most beautiful villages in the province, with watermills, stately manors and ancestral homes bearing witness to three centuries of history.
