Chaudière-Appalaches: "A portrait of the whole Quebec"

Furthermore, the region has a territory of 15,000 km². As a result, the fields and natural parks stretch as far as the eye can see.

The history of the region is best told by the national historical sites place of "Fort-numéro-un" of Levis, built at the end of the last century by the seigniorial estates of the French Regime (1608-1759, Lotbinière's Domaine Joly and Seigneurie des Aulnaies), and intended to protect Quebec City from an eventual American attack, the colonial village of the English Regime (1763-1867, Village des défricheurs de Saint-Prosper) and the historic site of Grosse-Ile.

The snow geese capital is without a doubt the town of Montmagny which also inhabits the "theatre des Migrations" (a show on human immigration to the Grosse-Ile and an impressive exposition on Snow Geese migration). Those seeking to know more about Beauce must visit the Marius-Barbeau museum.
