People who own real estate in Laval Quebec know just about everything there is to know about this city. But, the province of Quebec sees a lot of visitors go across the borders every year, and these visitors want to know about the best the city has to offer as well. Where can they find cheap roaming Internet prices in their accommodations? Where are the best places to eat? What is there to do for entertainment?
These are all valid questions, and with a city as large as Laval there are any number of answers. We have a couple of different resources we suggest when you are planning a visit to Laval. Some of them are non-profit sources, staffed by some of the best people executive recruitment services could find. Others are informal sites we came across on the Internet, which offer typical visitor's impression of different aspects of Laval tourism.
Before we start, a word on the language barrier. Laval is located in southern Quebec, which means that most people there are bilingual. For many, though, French is the mother tongue, and this can create some confusion when it comes to informational services. Most visitor information will be available in both English and French, although you may have to look carefully for translation options.
Wikipedia
You won't find it endorsed by very many university professors, but the fact is this site can be very useful when you just want to get a few basic facts about a city. All you have to do is type in the name of the city, go to the tourism section, and follow the links which come up. Sure, you may find that the site erroneously lists KMFRC as being located in Laval from time to time, but that's why it's important to cross reference!
City site
Without doubt, one of the best informational sites on the Internet when it comes to Laval is the city site, http://www.ville.laval.qc.ca. Watch out, though; it is in French and you will have to use the Google Toolbar to translate.
Once you do, the city of Laval and its events will open up to you. A look at the Tourism and Culture sections in particular will be beneficial to any visitors coming to Laval. Again, follow the links to get a more detailed idea of the areas you might like to visit.
Quebec Department of Tourism
If you are already in the city, keep your eyes peeled for tourist information centres. Every province operates these in almost every city, and they can be invaluable resources for visitors. You will find live help as well as hundreds of pamphlets guiding you to sight seeing tours, a catering company Toronto owned but operated in Laval, and so on.
Once you do visit Laval, it's likely you will come away with a great appreciation of our beautiful city. You might even start thinking about house plans in the area!
