Montmorency Falls, still impressive but somewhat spoiled by urbanisation. Descending to Baie-SaintPaul, where the Gouffre and St. Lawrence Rivers meet, we enjoy wonderful views of the valley and the Ile aux Coudres in the middle of the St. Lawrence. A further steep descent to Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive - once a thriving ship building centre - takes us on an enchanting riverside route before ascending once again and arriving at the Auberge des 3 Canards. Here Titan have arranged for you to take coffee and enjoy the lovely view. We continue our drive to BaieSte-Catherine where we board our Croisieres AML ship to enjoy an included lunch and whale- watching cruise. Krill and caplin drawn by the plankton in these waters attract the whales, most likely sighted of which are the fin, minke and beluga whales. If we are lucky we may even see the odd humpback or even a blue whale, the largest mammal on earth! After the cruise we return to our hotel in Quebec.

DAY 8 QUEBEC CITY · EASTERN TOWNSHIPS
An early start today to make the most of the Beauce region, an area enriched by the Chaudiere River that flows from Lake Megantic just north of the American border into the St. Lawrence River, and to enjoy the greatest concentration of maple groves in Quebec. Shortly after crossing the St. Lawrence we stop at the Chaudiere Falls, an impressive waterfall and suspension bridge, named `asticou' (boiler) by the Abenaki Indians because of the kettle-shaped basin at the foot of the cascades. The river was the scene of a gold rush in 1846 when a nugget the size of a pigeon's egg was found. By the beginning of the 20th century over $1 million worth of gold had been extracted. Our route takes us along the tree-lined banks of the Chaudiere as we pass through the towns of Saint Marie, Valley Junction, Saint Joseph de Beauce and Beauceville. Our stopping place at lunchtime is Lake Megantic, a fisherman's paradise and one of the most gorgeous lakeside spots even by Canadian standards. This afternoon offers further visual nourishment as we continue our country drive to the Manoir des Sables in Magog, well positioned for tomorrow's touring of the Eastern Townships.
with the town's fine old brick buildings having been converted to restaurants and boutiques, an old church and a millpond. After lunch we travel to Sutton, with its mountain towering over the lovely winter resort and enjoying fine views of the Brochets River Valley near Mount Pinacle. From here we continue on to Montreal and our hotel, the Doubletree Plaza Montreal.

DAY 9
EASTERN TOWNSHIPS · MONTREAL
One of the world's great beauty spots, but not yet overrun by tourism, the Eastern Townships are ours to enjoy to day. Tree covered hills rising to well over 3,000ft are interspersed with deep valleys and enchanting lakes. This morning we travel to North Hatley, which sits at the northern end of Lake Massawippi and was a popular second home for wealthy Americans during the 1920s. Along the lakeshore are many rustic homes and inns and its Pointe-Merry Park of pleasant riverside grassland, a pier and even a bandstand has a decided feel of old England in less hectic times. As our journey continues we visit St Benoit Abbey and pass through the pretty villages of Bolton and South Bolton until we reach Knowlton. It is here that we make our lunch stop,
