An ‘A’ in French isn’t necessary to appreciate the buffet of wonders Québec serves up for kids; they’ll find out how to say “fun” (amusement… that was easy!) quickly enough. Cycling along the St. Lawrence River kicks things off smashingly, and an enlightening guided walk through the streets of Québec City—the sole surviving fortified city in the Americas—will let history hit home. In Charlevoix, a region so chock-full of diverse landscapes, flora and fauna that it’s been made a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, the fun continues with sea kayaking, picnics, and a whale-watching expedition aboard Zodiacs. And like any B&R With the Kids trip, parents and kids get to experience the wonders of Canada’s most European of provinces both separately and together. Lessons learned, and enjoyed. It’s win-win.
