Quebec City

The grand chateau looms large over your twisting journey through the steep and narrow alleyways of the Lower Town. Church bells and friendly bonjours echo off the cobbled pavement and enduring stone facades.

Down a bustling cul-de-sac, painters and sketch artists readily display their works for interested passersby. One piece catches your eye: a red-roofed corner café tucked into an old 17th century home, a cheerful couple savouring coffee and croissants under its striped canopy – a near perfect portrait of your morning experience.

Quebec City, with its lofty ramparts and storied citadel, brims with the rich history of New France. No wonder it's been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. A step inside its fortified walls is a step inside the seductive charm of Old Europe.
