Quebec (City)
We spent the day in the UNESCO World Heritage city. The minute you arrive you understand the designation. Eighteenth-century buildings line street after street in the old town and above loom the imposing Chateau Frontenac and Citadel. We wandered the streets, stopped into the Basilique Notre Dame de Quebec, rode the funiculaire up the cliff, walked around the Plains of Abraham, sat in the gardens outside the National Assembly, checked out Le Frontenac lobby and savoured French food in the recommended Saute Lapin. I had French Onion Soup and Bill tried the specialty (see the name...)

ReplyDeleteMom, Dad and I are sitting planning our trip to Quebec City next week. We are planning on leaving Parry Sound next Monday morning, heading down to the 401 and driving as far as we can before grabbing a motel for the night. Our plan is to be in Quebec City before lunch on Tuesday. We will have the rest of Tuesday and all day Wednesday there and then head home Thursday morning.
ReplyDeleteWe are having trouble finding a place to stay and were wondering where you are staying. I have found an apartment through Airbnb but am waiting for confirmation that there are actually 2 beds.
Since were are there for a pretty short time, what do we "have" to see? Any good restaurant recommendations?
Sounds like a great trip so far. Sorry we are just behind you and not going to be able to see you.
Love Susan
Nice chatting. The hotel and shuttle is a great idea. While on the level of the tourist information centre on Sainte Anne and the Basilique, go over to the National Assembly. Joy will love the gardens in front of the building. The flowers everywhere are gorgeous. Have fun. xox
