National Reserve "Cap Turma Area".
Located in Quebec province, namely, off the coast of the River of St. Lawrence, the reserve is a territory with a swampy terrain, which covers an area of about twenty-four thousand square meters. Initially, this territory was initially brought under the protection of local authorities, and already in 1981, the reserve acquired the status of the park of international importance.
There are excellent zones with amazing, juicy landscapes that will be interesting to every tourist, but initially, the reserve was created to protect the population of a flock of big snowy geese, which today remains very little. A great place to visit the reserve is spring and autumn, when thousands of plots arrive here on the swamp and the territory adjacent to them. Being very easy prey for local hunters, a massive shooting began these feathers, because of what they began to threaten the complete extinction.
But, since the creation of the reserve, the number of these unique feathers has increased markedly and continues to increase to this day. These are very beautiful, snow-white and graceful birds. In addition, on the territory of the reserve you can meet the small representatives of the feathers, which, too, very beautifully sing and have a pretty colorful color.

Maritime Historical Museum Pointe-O-Per.
This is an amazing place, as it is not just a museum, but a whole museum complex that has been devoted to shipbuilding and navigation not only in Canada, but also around the world. Absolutely all the halls and premises of the complex are stylized under the ships, lighthouses and other marine objects, which is also rather unusual and very original.
But, of course, the main exhibits and the attention of the museum is riveted in the province of Quebec. For example, here you can learn a lot of new and exciting about Empress of Ireland's liner, which sank a few kilometers from here, and see the film - reconstruction, telling about all its livelihoods.
In addition, the acting ships are periodically sailing to the museum, and it is precisely the most successful for visiting the museum. Since there are exhibitions here, and sailors tell a lot of interesting stories. These reasons make the museum very popular among local villages, and all other cities of the country, even despite his remoteness from them. For example, in 2011, about sixty thousand tourists visited here.

Observatory Mont-Megantik.
The astronomical observatory is located at the easternmost point of the province, on the Mountain Mountain Mont-Megantik, where you can get only by transport. Being founded in 1978, the purpose of creating the observatory was to process the methods of observation and instruments, which developed the Canadian-Franco Hawaiian Observatory. Today, the management of the observatory is carried out by three universities - the University of Montreal, the University of Laval and the University of McGill.
On its territory there are modern devices, with the help of which space is investigated here. For example, one and a half meter telescope Richie-Coreyne, IR thermal imager and others.

Warehouse of weapons in Quebec.
Built from 1885 to 1888, the warehouse was considered the most significant attraction not only Quebec, but also of Canada. Sculptor Andrew Gauthier developed just a gorgeous building, which after the construction looked still more beautiful and majestic, because the valuable vintage items were kept.
In 2008, a very terrible fire was happening here, which brought a colossal destruction of the building. But, about 90% of the entire collection still managed to maintain, due to the diligence of firefighters and employees. Today, only the marble wall has been preserved here and just a couple of towers. The authorities have allocated about two million dollars on the complete reconstruction of the warehouse, which is planned to be completed by 2016.

Fortress shafts.
These are the last surviving and preserved fortifications of the wall of the city, which are located in North America. They were built to protect against the French attack in 1759. But according to historical information, fortifications are dating 1620-1665 years. Over time, the wall almost completely collapsed, and today only fortress shafts have been preserved.
Looking at them, try to imagine the scale of structures at war, and amazed what everything was huge and strong.
In 1985, UNESCO announced a surviving wall of the World Heritage. The gate is made in the form of a typical half-day made of natural stone, which perfectly complements, and I would even say, decorates the surviving tower. Surprisingly, for many years, local authorities tried to rebuild the fortress wall, only it is not clear why it was to do that until she acquired the current outlines that can contemplate all visitors to the city. In general, Canada, A particular, Quebec has a very long history, which the authorities are trying to preserve any available way, showing people, as it is important to remember and honor people who fought for today's independence.
