We stayed in the Old part of Quebec city, within the ramparts, but the really really quaint cobblestone old part is down by the water, the old port. It's unfortunately got quite a few souvenir shops (and stores excluseively selling maple syrup. I always thought that was quite a thing to base an entire career and business around.) but there's also a fair share of restaurants, including where we stopped for lunch (which I'll get into next week some time). Anyhow, everthing is beautiful to begin with, and then there was some fall decoration and changing colours, and thus my camera was plastered to my face.
One of the highlights of the old port is the view of the Chateau Frontenac, looming above. It's such a beautiful building! There's also this little lift you can take up the side of the hill from the port, to get to the chateau.

Wow, Quebec is gorgeous! Have to put it on my travel list for sure :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so lovely there, and no matter the time of year there's always something to see and do (though it gets rather cold)!

Beautiful! I had no prior mental image of Quebec so I loved seeing these - a gorgeous surprise!
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome in the summer! There's a little place on the ramparts I sat to listen to music and draw while I was there last summer. Hope to do the same this coming summer!

Ughhhhh! I love how all of these images take me right to Europe! You make me want to sit at a cafe and read a good book!
ReplyDeleteIt was JUST like europe!
DeleteBut closer!
And cheaper!!
Oh man, this place looks amazing! You are so lucky to have this close by! It really looks so European, hard to believe it's not. I want to go to there.
ReplyDeleteFrench Canada has to make up for being so cold by being so beautiful! I do enjoy it better in the summer though, haha. It's great, besides the service industry, nobody is speaking English. I'll have to brush up on my skills next time I go!
