Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac

Quartier Petit Champlain

Night view

朝霞浮萍

Petit Champlain Street is my favorite place when I travel in Canada. It was originally a French colony, and many people still speak French. The official language here is also French. This is the place where tourists gather most in downtown Quebec. It is really beautiful.

Montmorency Falls

Natural scenery

Tootty

Montmorency Falls is an alternative to Niagara Falls. It is less crowded than Niagara and quieter. A nice place to stroll in the park.

Notre-Dame de Québec Basilica-Cathedral

小花猫大笨熊

One-day tour of the old town of Quebec ☔️ ~
The Cathedral of Notre Dame, the exterior is under repair, you can enter from the side door to visit, I encountered a wedding, saw the beautiful bride, there were few relatives and friends attending, we were very gossipy and guessed the reason for a long time [snickering]
It is the oldest parish church in North America and the first church in North America to be upgraded to a papal basilica (1874), and is currently listed as a World Heritage Site. The cathedral has a neoclassical facade and is decorated with rich artworks: stained glass, paintings and altar lights (a gift from Louis XIV).

Place Royale

BetTerDAY

The Royal Place is located near the Chateau Fontanac Hotel. The Old Town of Quebec City is a romantic city with many castles. It is often compared to Paris. The residents here basically speak French, and it is indeed very French.

Rue Sainte-Anne

Tresor Art Street is really great. There are many creative shops here, and many of the shops have beautiful ice sculptures in front of them. Walking here, you feel like you are walking in a small town in Paris.
