Terres d'Aventure (Agences de Montréal et Québec)

What Terres d'Aventure (Agences de Montréal et Québec) does

Terres d'Aventure (Agences de Montréal et Québec) is the Canadian arm of the 1976-founded French adventure travel brand, operating two physical travel agencies in Montréal and Québec City within the Voyageurs du Monde group network. The company specializes in active, nature-based travel — hiking, trekking, cycling, kayaking, and skiing — distributed across approximately 1,600 curated itineraries spanning 200+ destinations on every continent including polar regions. Its product mix is organized into four core service lines: Voyages en groupe (guided group trips of 5–15 travelers with local experts), Voyages sur mesure (fully custom itineraries), Voyages en famille (family trips accessible from age 2), and Voyages à vélo (cycling adventures), supplemented by Voyages en liberté (self-guided travel with roadbook, mobile app, and 24/7 assistance).

The business model is sales-led through advisor-assisted consultations in-store and by phone (514-382-9453), with self-service browsing via the terdav.ca website. Revenue is generated on a per-trip, pay-as-you-go basis with prices ranging from under 750 CAD for short micro-adventures to over 5,000 CAD for long-haul expeditions such as the Grand Tour des Balkans (5,310 CAD) or the Balade Caucasienne from 5,100 CAD. The company markets to French-speaking adventure travelers through a multi-channel strategy combining a print magazine (Terre), a podcast, an annual Festival, cultural events at the Québec agency, and active social channels on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

The Canadian entity has 9 employees and reported no revenue in the source data; the operation operates under B Corp certification achieved in 2024, with 100% carbon absorption on all trips via VERRA and Gold Standard certified projects, and a stated 98% traveler satisfaction across 6,591 reviews on Africa trips. There is no proprietary technology platform, no public API, and no AI/ML capability disclosed in the inputs.
