Discover a country of grand landscapes and rich cultures.
Canada, land of nature and cultural diversity
A destination nearly twenty times the size of France, stretching from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic Ocean, can only have countless facets to present, which are just as many reasons to take a grand trip to the land of maple syrup. There is a rich and industrialized Canada, and another that is wild; an English-speaking Canada close to its American neighbor, and a French-speaking one that asserts its uniqueness in Quebec; a mountainous country in the west, and a flat land in the east...
From the northern lights of the Canadian Far North to the dizzying Niagara Falls, from the red sand beaches of Prince Edward Island to the magnificent Vancouver Bay, the variety of landscapes is limitless. And the actors of this incredible natural spectacle are numerous: bears, caribou, beavers, whales, belugas, polar foxes, grizzlies, sled dogs... Not to mention the foremost among them: the Canadian population, close to the environment and always humble in the face of the harsh winter that strikes hard almost everywhere. Also discover the ancestral traditions of the indigenous peoples (Amerindians and Inuits), there are more than 50 peoples with different languages and cultures!

Protecting the environment and ensuring the cleanliness of spaces
The environmental protection policies implemented by Canada have helped to preserve several threatened species and habitats. This concern for the environment is also reflected in the cleanliness of cities, with Ottawa, the Canadian capital, being a perfect example. However, the Conservative Party, in power during the last decade, has significantly reduced environmental protection measures while promoting the polluting exploitation of fossil fuels. This trend has been reversing since the election of Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Party in 2015, although some issues remain concerning, particularly the exploitation of tar sands.
