Old Quebec is absolutely beautiful, full of one block after another of quaint, well-kept buildings. It really is like being in a European city! We had hot, sunny weather the whole time we were there. On Saturday, we walked into town and took the Funiculaire up to Dufferin Terrace. From there, we walked up the 310 steps of the Governor's Promenade with breaks in between to enjoy the view of the St. Lawrence River, Port de Quebec and city of Levis across the river. At the top of the walkway is the Citadel, a working military base and the residence of the Governor of Quebec. We walked into the Citadel but did not do the tour.
When we returned down to Dufferin Terrace, we were hot and thirsty so we stopped for a beer in Le Chateau Frontenac. It is spectacular and claims to be the most-photographed hotel in the world. It was certainly impressive and I took a lot of photos, so I can not disagree. We enjoyed the rest of the afternoon people and architecture watching. After returning to the boat to clean up, we had dinner at Louise Cafe that evening - delicious!
We could walk over the bridge on the lock to get into Old Quebec. |
