Splashes of fun The Village Vacances Valcartier outdoor water park has long been a summer attraction par excellence for vacationers from Quebec and elsewhere. Can you picture yourself spending the day speeding down more than 35 heated waterslides, braving attractions such as the Dungeon City and Everest, or drifting along one of the themed rivers to explore a magical water world? The site also offers a variety of restaurants and patio bars to enhance your experience. Want to extend your stay in the region? Village Vacances Valcartier also offers accommodations, including 16 new CoolBox units. Must-visit family destination Located in Sainte-Catherine-de-la-Jacques-Cartier, Duchesnay Station is another must-visit destination during your summer vacation. While the station is open year-round, summer is an especially exciting time to visit, when the mature trees are lush with leaves and the sun is shining on Lac Saint-Joseph. To enjoy all nature has to offer, check out the Arbraska aerial course with ziplines, suspension bridges and other obstacles, or take to the water on a kayak, canoe or pedal boat. The options are endless! What’s more, you can now rent electric bikes to pedal along the Jacques-Cartier/Portneuf cycling path that runs through the station. Photo credit: Simon Clark.
