Walk around Petit Champlain and the Old Port to find a wide offer of French bistros and traditional bakeries offering mouth-watering pastries. In traditional taverns, travelers can taste ‘poutine’, the region's famous dish of fries, cheese curds and thick gravy. Visitors who come to the city during winter, will have the opportunity to go skiing in many resorts, practice outdoor ice-skating, go snowshoeing in lush forests or run away from the cold in Valcartier Bora Parc, and indoor resort with swimming pools not far from the city. There are also good shopping opportunities in the cool boutiques around Saint-Roche and Petit Champlain. Additionally, for visitors interested in First Nations culture, we highly recommend paying a visit to the Huron-Wendat Museum. There, visitors can see a reconstructed village and artisan galleries, as well as learn about this native community.
