General presentation
Victoria et sud de l'île de Vancouver
Provincial capital with maritime rhythm, between inland harbour, gardens, historic architecture and easy access to the coasts of the Strait.
To understand what Victoria and southern Vancouver Island are, you need to look at Inner Harbour, Royal BC Museum and Butchart Gardens. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, the coastline, heritage and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
