On Wednesday morning, we stopped at Mont
Royal before leaving Montreal. This park is in the highest part
of the city, and you could see the downtown area, as
well as the Olympic Park. |
By late afternoon, we passed through the gates of
the old city in Quebec
City. |

We couldn't wait to start wandering the
quaint streets and stairways of old Quebec City which
are filled with shops and cafes. The streets echoed with
the clip clop of the carriage rides. |
The streets were filled with all kinds
of discoveries. There were street performers on every
corner. To the right is an amazing faux street scene
painted on the wall of one of the squares.

| The most famous landmark of Quebec City is
the beautiful Chateau
Frontenac. It is pricey to stay
there, so we opted for Fleur
de Lys hotel. It was comfortable,
conveniently located in the heart of the city, and cost
effective. |

Here is another lovely view of the city,
including the funicular which (for a small fee) you
can take to the top of the hill instead of climbing many
steps.
After checking out the shops, we found a great
little outdoor crepe cafe for dinner. We were serenaded
by a guitarist as we ate.
