The “Escapade à Québec” getaway at a glance

Escapade à Québec (Quebec City Getaway) is a short 3-day, 2-night Club Med stay in the provincial capital, arriving and departing from Quebec City. On day one, a transfer takes you from the airport to your hotel. On day two, a private French-speaking guide shows you Old Quebec for two hours: the Petit-Champlain district, Place Royale, the Château Frontenac, Dufferin Terrace and the fortifications. On day three, the morning is free before the return transfer. Two hotels are offered: Le Port-Royal, 3 stars, in the Comfort option, or the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, 5 stars, in the Superior Comfort option. The package includes transfers, two nights with breakfast, the private tour and the guide's tip. It is a turnkey weekend, perfect as a gift or paired with a stay at Club Med Québec Charlevoix.

How do the three days in Quebec City unfold?

Everything is designed to enjoy the city without rushing. You are met at the airport on day one and driven to the hotel for two nights. On day two, you head out with your guide. On day three, you have the morning ahead of you: a last coffee on rue Saint-Jean, a walk up to the Plains of Abraham, a ferry ride to Lévis to see the city from the river. Then the transfer takes you back to the airport.

What do you see on the private tour of Old Quebec?

For two hours, your French-speaking guide takes you through four centuries of history, from the lower town to the upper town. You start in Petit-Champlain and its narrow streets, stop at Place Royale, the cradle of New France, then climb to the Château Frontenac and Dufferin Terrace, with the river at your feet. The tour ends along the fortifications, which make Old Quebec the only fortified city north of Mexico and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The guide's tip is already included.

Which hotel should you choose, Le Port-Royal or the Château Frontenac?

In the Comfort option, Le Port-Royal, 3 stars, is set in the Old Port, a few steps from Petit-Champlain and the market. In the Superior Comfort option, the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, 5 stars, is the city's emblem: staying there means waking above the river in a château opened in 1893. The upgrade is booked at extra cost, and it is often what turns a weekend into a memorable gift.

What can you do in Quebec City during your free time?

The city is best discovered on foot. The funicular links the lower town to Dufferin Terrace, the Plains of Abraham invite a stroll, and the Musée de la civilisation tells the story of Quebec. In winter, the Quebec Winter Carnival brings the city to life; in summer, the patios of Grande Allée overflow. Your advisor can book a table, an activity or an outing to Montmorency Falls ahead of time.

What is included, and what is extra?

The package includes transfers between the airport and the hotel both ways, two nights with breakfast, the two-hour private tour with a French-speaking guide and the guide's tip. Added as needed are transport to Quebec City, the Château Frontenac upgrade, a single room, activities, drinks, personal expenses, the Club Med annual membership fee and insurance. For guests from abroad, the eTA is also paid separately.

Why treat yourself to Quebec City when you live in Quebec?

Because most of us have seen Old Quebec in a rush, on a school trip or a business dinner. With a guide who knows every stone, you rediscover the city with fresh eyes. For a Montrealer, it is a weekend where everything is settled in advance. For hosting family from France, it is the ideal welcome: they are met at the airport, the hotel is booked and the tour is in French. And as a birthday or retirement gift, a night at the Château Frontenac always makes an impression.

When should you go to Quebec City?

The getaway works in every season. Summer and fall are the mildest for walking the old town; in winter, snow on the ramparts and the Carnival give Quebec City a postcard look. Since the package is private, your advisor tells you which departures are available on your dates.

How do you get to Quebec City for the getaway?

The included transfers leave from Quebec City's airport, handy if you fly in or if your guests land from abroad, often with a connection in Montreal. If you come by car or train, mention it to your advisor when booking so your arrival at the hotel can be arranged.

Which Club Med resort pairs well with the Escapade à Québec?

Club Med Québec Charlevoix is the natural choice: it sits at Petite-Rivière-Saint-François, about an hour's drive from Quebec City, above the St. Lawrence. Two nights in the city followed by a few all-inclusive days is a combination European visitors love. To explore the region, see our Visit Charlevoix page. You can also continue with the Escapade à Montréal or choose the full Canada Grandeur Nature tour, which spends two nights in Quebec City.
