What To Expect
Saint-Jean-de-l'ile-d'Orleans
St-Jean features exceptional neoclassical architecture, a reminder of the economic prosperity associated with maritime life along the St. Lawrence River in the 19th century. St-Jean is also listed as one of the most beautiful traditional French-Canadian villages in the entire St. Lawrence Valley. The heart of the village recalls the importance of Catholic institutions and traditions in French Canada.
Sainte-Petronille
Ste Pétronille offers a breathtaking view of the St. Lawrence River, site of the most important naval battles of the British Conquest and, in the distance, the promontory of Quebec that Charles Dickens described as the "Gibraltar of America" in his story " American Notes" of 1842. The "New England" architecture of Ste-Pétronille dates from the 19th century, when Anglo-Canadian merchants fled the city to live safe from the cholera which struck the port of Quebec and Canada in the 1830s.

5.00We were given a great overview of the island and lots of interesting facts. Naomia took us to several great spots for food and pictures.
Beautiful tour but overpriced

4.00Ile d’Orleans was very quaint and interesting and Naima was a wonderful guide explaining the history of the island. We stopped at a local fruit stand, a church, and a chocolate factory which was the highlight. The ice cream was delicious! We expected more of a park and walk tour and thought that despite being a good tour it was overpriced.
