We thoroughly enjoyed Quebec City. It ranks as one of the highlights of the trip. The weather was great and the city is easily explored by foot. I'll let my pictures speak for themselves.

| The provincial government Parliament Building |
Remembering the lost mariners in the local Catholic church in the lower city.
Everyone show recognize the next two...
 |
| McDonalds - Quebec City |
 |
| Starbucks - Quebec City |
Both of these restaurants occupy lovely former homes. Restaurants line both sides of the street for several blocks in these lovely former homes.
 |
| Montmorency Falls |
We took a bus trip to see the Falls and the local area outside of Quebec City.
 |
| Basilica of St Anne de Beaupre |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Rooftop - Chateau Frontenac |
We took a tour of the hotel and discovered gardens, beehives and chickens on the rooftop!
 |
| A typical street in the upper city |
 |
| The steps from the lower city to the upper city |
You can take a funicular in lieu of walking up the steps.
 |
| Looking down from the cable car |
 |
| Lower city street |
 |
| Changing of the Guard at The Citadel |
 |
| The goat is a mascot |
 |
| Lunch at LeParliament |
|
We enjoyed an excellent lunch before taking a tour of the Parliament building.
The province of Quebec is overwhelmingly Roman Catholic. There was a crucifix hanging up at the head of one of these rooms.
 |
| The lock into and out of the marina |

| Quebec City marina |
The granary in the background is used to show a 3D movie at night about Quebec's history.
We thoroughly enjoyed Quebec and everything about it. Speaking French would have been a plus but it wasn't a hindrance either.
