PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Discover Canada's most populous province: Ontario. This charming city has many emblematic places to visit. From Toronto to Montreal to the shores of Niagara Falls!

Let yourself be carried away by the magic of Ontario during this family road trip!

During this road trip in Ontario, you will pass through the following places: 

  • Niagara Falls
  • Montreal
  • Toronto
  • Tadoussac
  • Ottawa
  • Saint Alexis des Monts
  • Kingston
  • Bay St. Paul

Toronto is a small city located near the territory of the famous Niagara Falls. Its name comes from the Mohawk language and means “where three rivers meet”. This definition is absolutely apt, as this is where the Grand River, the Nith River and the Beaverdams River meet! Niagara Falls, considered one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world, is made up of three separate falls that tumble 61 feet (200 m).

Ontario's capital, Kingston, is located on Lake Ontario. It is popular for being one of the most historic and cultural places in Canada. Ottawa, on the other hand, located just opposite Kingston, is both the capital and the fourth largest city in Canada. Tadoussac is a small commune (village) located in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec, along the St. Lawrence River; it was founded by Samuel de Champlain in 1867.
