"Tournée littéraire de la région de la ville de Québec" offers a unique opportunity to learn about Québec culture through the study of four novels that describe important places and times in Québec history. The study of these narratives will be enhanced by visiting the sites that inspired them and the people who are part of the traditions described therein. The methodology of the institute is to combine academic presentations and seminar-level discussions with briefings by site curators, regional historians, and, where possible, the authors themselves.
