Old Quebec

Reviewed By nowpacking - Dallas, United States

Walk through one of the city gates and you will be transported back in time - wander the cobblestone streets, ride in horse drawn carriages, dine at sidewalk cafes, shop in the artist's alley way, and photograph countless historic buildings. The huge boardwalk overlooking the historic lower town stretches across the front of the beautiful Chateau Frontenac providing the perfect place to sit and enjoy - especially if you can get up early and beat the crowds! Lots of restaurants, shops, beautiful churches (don't miss Notre Dame and the church in Place Royal) and so much charming architecture. Take the stairs down to the lower city or ride the funicular ... stroll the streets, take lots of photographs and have lunch. In the lower city visit Place Royal and Notre-Dame-des-Victories church to see the huge model ship hanging from the ceiling - then eat pizza at La Pizz or a snack at Maison Smith. If you need a ride back up catch the funicular! Don't miss the gorgeous fountain outside the gate and across from the beautiful Parliment building.

From the moment we stepped through the doors, our eyes feasted on the colours and textures of hundreds of pieces of art, beautifully arranged to view each artist’s work. Marie Eve is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable representative of her gallery, enthusiastically sharing her expertise of each art piece and the backgrounds of the artists. A wonderful experience and a most pleasurable way to spend time in La Malbaie
