| Feel the pride of a nation and the rich sense of history at the heart and soul of the country. Delve into the long-ago days of the Loyalists, faithfully preserved in towns and villages that dot the region. Cruise down wondrous waterways and past emerald islands numbering in the thousands. Pamper yourself at a Victorian country inn. Traverse rolling hills, rocky highlands and soaring sand dunes. Enjoy warm hospitality and "joie de vivre" in charmingly rural French communities. Wander through the valleys and highlands for a spectacular show of fall colours. No matter what time of year it is, Eastern Ontario provides a rewarding retreat. |

Quinte Country and Prince Edward County
Chill out in the unmistakable summer resort atmosphere of lakeside Picton. And if pike, bass and walleye have you hooked, Belleville will be your paradise. Visions of sky sparring and magnificent manoeuvres come to mind as you walk amongst the warplanes at the Royal Canadian Airforce Museum.
