Quebec is the most distinctive of Canada's provinces, having maintained its strong French heritage in a country which is otherwise much more tied to its roots as a group of British colonies.  In this video, contributor and drone pilot Matthew Chirico gives us an aerial tour of this eastern Canadian province in the winter.  Using his DJI Mavic Pro drone, he provides stunning winter  aerial views of Montreal, Quebec's largest city, and the provincial capital Quebec City, which lies some ways down the St. Lawrence River.    

The Canadian province of Quebec covers an enormous land area - about 1.35 million square km or around 527k square mi., roughly twice the size of France.  Much of the province is forested, and in the more temperate latitudes, the trees are deciduous.  In the Fall, these areas become a sea of colors, presenting some of the world's most beautiful Autumn landscapes.  In this drone video by Omar Uddin, you'll get a sense of the spectacular beauty of the hills of rural Quebec near the peak of the Fall color season.   

Canada's St. Lawerence River is the country's most important waterway.  It provides the connection between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean, and is also an immense source of hydroelectricity for Canada and the United States.  Only 500 km (just over 300 mi.) long, the St. Lawrence is North America's largest river by discharge volume, and it created the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the largest river estuary in the world.  Contributor Dizfilms created this epic aerial tour of this mighty seaway.   

Caffespresso used a DJI Mavic 2 drone to create this spectacular aerial video of Quebec City, the last major city of the Great Lakes system before it drains into the North Atlantic.  Quebec city is situated near the mouth of the St. Lawrence River, which extends from Lake Ontario, past Montreal, and thence to Quebec city, the provincial capital.  The video contains epic footage of Quebec's Old City, one the oldest fortress-city in the United States or Canada with some preserved structures.  

Check out this fantastic dronelapse of the great Canadian city of Montréal, compliments of RomeR.  The video was shot from the perspective of the St. Lawrence River, facing west.  In the foreground you'll see the Grande roue de Montréal ferris wheel which opened in 2017 to commemorate the city's 375th anniversary.  The ferris wheel lies in the city's Old Port, the historic core of the largest French-speaking city after Paris; further west, you'll see the modern downtown, and beyond that the peak of Mt. Royal.    

While the population of the Canadian province Quebec is heavily concentrated in its southern area along the St. Lawrence River, the province is enormous.  Its territory extends over 1.3 million square km (over 500k square mi.) of land area, making it the largest southern tier province.  Most of this area is in the northern part of the province.  In this amazing video by top contributor Dizifilms, you'll get an aerial view of this frozen wonderland, which extends to latitudes running through Greenland.  

The Magdalene Islands (La Îles de la Madeleine) in Quebec is one of Canada's least known natural treasures.  It's a group of islands located in the middle of the massive Gulf of St. Lawrence, where the St. Lawrence River empties into the Atlantic Ocean.  Magdalene's location in the middle of busy shipping lanes and the notorious winter weather of the region have led to hundreds of shipwrecks. In this video, contributor and pilot Utcinema created this stunning drone video of these remote islands.   

Prepare to be amazed by this amazing drone video of Siberian tigers at a zoo in eastern Canada.  The Zoo Sauvage de Saint-Felicien is a zoological park in central Quebec, well north of Montreal and Quebec city.  Contributor Dizfilms, one of the top professional drone pilots in Quebec, worked with the zoo to film its Siberian tiger pair by drone.  The video shows how the animals react with a vague indifference to the hovering DJI Inspire drone.  This was a finalist for the AirVuz 2017 Drone Video Awards.  

AirVuz contributor VeronikaChi brings us this excellent drone video of Canada's tallest lighthouse.  The Cap-des-Rosiers Lighthouse is located near the eastern tip of the Gaspé Peninsula in Quebec, at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River.  Constructed in 1858, it stands 112 ft (34 m) tall, making it visible up to 28 mi. (44 km) away in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.  Automated since 1981, it's been designated as a National Historic Site of Canada as well as a Federal Heritage Building by the Canadian government.  

The Gaspe Peninsula (Gaspésie) is a giant landform in the Canadian province of Quebec.  It forms the southern side of the St. Lawrence River (the largest in North America by discharge volume) as it empties into the waterway's namesake gulf.  The peninsula covers over 30k square km of territory (around 11k square mi.), a land area equivalent in size to the US state of Maryland.  You can check out this beautiful expanse of Canada in this excellent video by contributor Jean-Thomas; the video features a mix of drone and ground-camera footage.

The Canadian province of Quebec has a land area of over 1.3 million square km (about 525k square mi.), making it over 2x the size of the USA's state of Texas and over 3x the size of California.  Most of this enormous territory is far from the province's urban centers, and features some of the most spectacular natural scenery in North America.  AirVuz contributor and drone pilot Macheco went on a 2.4k km (around 1.5k mi.) road trip around the rural areas of this gigantic province, and created this stunning drone video along the way.  

Check out this awesome aerial video of Québec City, compliments of Qfsaviation.  The province's capital city is set on the banks of the St. Lawrence River.  At the 1:00 mark in the video you'll get an epic bird's eye view of  Château Frontenac, the city's most visible landmark.  Completed in 1893, the hotel was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway, it's one of the country's grand railway hotels.  The site of two important Allied conferences during World War II, the hotel was a filming location for Season 5 of the TV show the Bachelor.  

Contributor and pilot Nicoricosancho made it out with his drone just in time to capture the short-lived but spectacular Fall scenery in Quebec, the giant province of eastern Canada. Complete with warmly-tinted foliage, plump pumpkins in a field, and a quiet cottage in the hills, this aerial footage clearly conveys all the lovely attributes of the autumn season. Quebec is home to some of the most spectacular Fall scenery in North America, particularly in the "triangle" formed by the St. Lawrence River and the US border.  

The Magdalen Islands is an archipelago in the middle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence in eastern Canada.  The group consists of eight major islands and a number of smaller ones. Although they lie closer to the three Maritime provinces as well as to Newfoundland, the Magdalens are part of the territory of the province of Quebec.  In the winter months, the islands are completely isolated from the rest of the country due to the freezing of the Gulf.  You can check out these beautiful islands from above in this drone video by seabass.

The eastern portion of the Canadian province of Quebec is basically a triangle formed by the St. Lawrence River and the USA border.  Much of this part of the province is covered by the Notre Dame Mountains, which are considered a sub-range of the Appalachian chain.  In this drone video by contributor seabass, you'll get a nice aerial view of the area around Mont Ham, one of the peaks in the southern Notre Dame Mountains. With a peak elevation of just over 700 meters (around 2.3k ft.), it makes for a spectacular Fall scene.  

Check out this fantastic drone video of the hinterlands of the Canadian province of Quebec, compliments of contributor Alex Crtr.  The Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region is located in the south-central part of the giant province.  Its name derives from the Saguenay River, which drains Lac Saint-Jean and the Laurentian Highlands into the St. Lawrence River.  Other footage in the video is from the adjacent region of Charlevoix, which is situated a bit to the south of the former region, running to the northern banks of the mighty St. Lawrence.

In this magnificent piece, new AirVuz contributor Dave NIZET will take you through the wilderness Québec, Canada.  Using a combination of drone and ground camera footage, the video follows a driving, canoeing, and hiking trip through the hinterland of this enormous territory, which covers a land area of almost 1.4 million square km (about 525k square mi.) - over twice the size of the USA state of Texas.  Shot in the early Fall, the video does a phenomenal job of bringing out the natural beauty of Canada's second-largest province.  

Check out the fantastic Fall colors of the Canadian province of Quebec from above in this fabulous drone video by AirVuz contributor and pilot SD Aerials.  Shot with a DJI Mavic Pro 2 drone, the video captures the beauty of the eastern Canadian countryside near the town of Sainte-Sophie-d'halifax.  The town lies in the Centre-du-Québec region south of the St. Lawrence River, between Montreal and Quebec City.  The video features some excellent footage of a windfarm, one of many which dot the Quebec countryside. 

As pilot Nicoricosancho puts it, if you’ve heard of snowboarding in Canada, you’ve probably only heard of the snowboarding on the west coast in British Columbia. However, the east coast has the Gaspé Peninsula in Québec which he says has some excellent powder as well. Shot with both a drone and ground camera, we follow him and his adventurous crew down the slopes and along the Saint Lawrence shoreline. It's a beautiful location that we just might have to see for ourselves.

Check out the Fall colors in this drone video from the mountains of southern Quebec, Canada.  The Laurentians  are some of the oldest mountains on earth; their rocks were formed in pre-Cambrian times - ie, over 540 million years ago.  Running north of and the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers, the Laurentians resemble the Adirondack Mountains in neighboring New York, their geological sisters.  With a peak elevation of around 1.15k meters (about 3.8k ft.), the Laurentians are known not for their height but for their brilliant Fall appearance.  

Contributor Alex AirTravel created this video of one of the most beautiful parts of the Canadian province of Quebec. It's called the Gaspésie Peninsula, and it forms the southern side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the estuary of the St. Lawrence River.   Situated to the north of New Brunswick, the peninsula covers 31k square km (around 11k square mi.) yet only has about 140k inhabitants. The video combines drone and ground camera footage to provide some amazing views of this stunningly picturesque area. 

Check out these stunning drone views of the Sainte-Marguerite River in eastern Canada, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot nicolas.xanthos.  Located in the county of Le Fjord-du-Saguenay in Quebec, the river flows into the Saguenay River, which itself is a tributary to the mighty Saint Lawrence River.  The river's course of about 60 miles (around 100 km) is mostly in the southeastern direction.  The video captures the beauty of this heavily forested area before the start of the annual fishing season.  

For a first upload to AirVuz, new contributor bvfotografia brings us this excellent drone video of Canada's Chaudière Falls.  The Falls lie just west of the national capital city of Ottawa on the city's namesake river, which forms the boundary between the provinces of Ontario and Quebec.  The video features some excellent aerial footage of the falls, Chaudière Bridge and Island (which lie just downstream from the falls), Victoria Island and the Portage Bridge (just a bit further downstream), and the city of Ottawa.

AirVuz contributor nicolas.xanthos brings us this excellent drone video from a valley in southern Quebec, Canada.  It's called the Zec de l'Anse-Saint-Jean, and it's located just northwest of the St. Lawrence River and south of the Saguenay River, not far from where the latter drains into the former waterway.  In addition to the two rivers and a third, smaller waterway, the area is home to over 100 lakes.  Its ample timber resources are subject to a controlled harvest to preserve the area's natural beauty.   

Canada's Saint-François River is a waterway which runs from its source in Grand lac Saint François on a generally northern course, emptying into the mighty St. Lawrence River, the largest North American waterway by discharge volume.  In this drone video by AirVuz contributor Alex Crtr, you'll get an aerial view of the Saint-François near the town of Drummondville, Quebec.  Drummondville is located about 80 km (around 50 mi.) east of Montreal, not far from the river's convergence with the Saint Lawrence.  

La Mauricie National Park is one of the natural treasures of the Canadian province of Quebec.  It's situated in the Laurentian Mountains, in the Mauricie region north of the St. Lawrence River.  The heavily forested area was intensively logged during the 19th and the first part of the 20th century.  A number of private hunting and fishing clubs were established in the area beginning in the late 19th century, and the park was created in 1970.  It covers an area of just over 200 square mi. (around 535 square km).  

Known for its picturesque, snowy winters and vibrant fall foliage, Quebec is an eastern, mostly French-speaking province of Canada. Home to Montreal (the world's largest French-speaking city after Paris), the UNESCO world heritage site Old Quebec City, and the Adirondack Mountains, the province is well worth the trip - especially in the fall. The rich reds, golden yellows and vibrant organges pop against the lush, green pines and clear, blue sky as seen in this stunning video by Alex AirTravel.

Top AirVuz contributor dizifilms brings us this rather eerie drone video of Quebec City in the midst of a lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic in late March, 2020.  The provincial capital, which would normally be awakening from winter at this time of year, was instead essentially closed to contain the disease's spread.  The epidemic hit the province of Quebec particularly hard: with a single confirmed case at the beginning of March, by the fourth week of March its new case count shot past that of its more populous neighbor Ontario.

In this episode of Drone Dish, host Tyler Mason travels to New York for the city's 2017 Drone Film Festival and chats with David Durivage (AirVuz profile: dizifilms). David is from Montreal, Quebec and discusses his short film "DIZI" which was selected in this year's NYC Drone Film Fest.  Also, hear how David was able to get his Inspire drone up close and personal with some Tigers at a Canadian zoo!  His videos are features throughout the AirVuz Quebec regional collection as well its "Best of Canada" collection.
