Stay: Hotel Nelligan, Montreal (Superior)

Today, you'll pick up your rental car and make for the thickly-forested shores of Lake Sacacomie bordering the Mastigouche Wildlife Reserve. This tranquil retreat offers the chance to relax and immerse yourself in the magnificent surroundings. The lake gives opportunity for myriad water activities while there are also miles of hiking trails to follow at a leisurely pace. If you prefer the idea of something less energetic, the GEOS Spa is an ideal place to wind down and relax. You'll have three nights here to truly explore and enjoy the peaceful surrounds.

After a relaxing stay at Hotel Sacacomie, make your way to Québec City. This fortified city is one of the oldest in North America and the picturesque old town is a living, breathing museum home to a maze of atmospheric cobbled streets lined with 17th- and 18th-century houses and charming bistros. Indeed, with so much history on display, the city has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The next day the world, or the city at least, is your oyster today. Perhaps get your bearings with a guided tour, or tickle the taste buds with a food-based guided walk. There's much to enjoy here, and the city is a photographer's paradise, so be sure to keep your camera charged.

Stay: Manoir Victoria, Quebec City (Superior)

Enjoy a last day to explore before transferring to the airport for your homeward flight, arriving on day nine.
