We love visiting Old Quebec City. I first visited here to do genealogy research and to trace the path of my ancestors who were some of the first Europeans to settle this continent.
It was such a positive experience, we made a return visit and look forward to going again soon. I took this pic from the upper terrace of the famous Chateau Frontenac looking north over the St Laurence River and Laurentian Mts. We stayed in one of their turret rooms (no corners!) This is a grand hotel that offers elegance and sophistication but still makes each visitor feel welcome and special. It dominates the skyline and has hosted royalty, presidents, and celebrities over past centuries. There are so many other wonderful places to stay here... small hotels or B&B's. A personal favorite is Hotel Le Clos St-Louis for couples wanting a smaller, intimate setting.
This
part of Old Quebec, closer to the river, has also been rebuilt while
keeping the original old world feel and remains a busy port. You MUST
make time for Marché du Vieux-Port. It has to be the best
Farmer's Market ever...
