We rolled into Quebec City just before rush hour. Greeted by new friends, we “driveway camped” under their carport for two nights while touring this beautiful city. 


Our gracious hosts, and fellow Pleasure-Way owners, took us on a walking tour of the city at night.


The illuminated Canadian National Railway station was a great place to start.

Artists have covered buildings, like this one, with historical scenes depicting important figures in the history of the area.

This group was enjoying a lamplight tour of the old city.

One could spend months here and not eat at the same restaurant twice.

Tin Tin comic characters were on display in the windows of the Museum of Civilization.

Temporary art installations like this one were scattered around the city.

Our gracious host family took us out again in the morning to see more of this fascinating city.

Here, Beth warms her hands over a virtual campfire outside the Museum of Modern Art.

What follows are snapshots of our day in the city.  We had a great time and can’t thank our host family enough for their hospitality.

If you get the opportunity to visit this delightful city, make sure you go!

Parliament was closed for a special meeting so we didn’t get an inside tour this trip.

One of the gates into the walled part of the city.

Tourists enjoyed narrated tours in horse drawn carriages.

 This young lady was dressed in period costume inviting visitors to a museum.

The smallest house in the old city is squeezed between two other buildings.

 Public art is everywhere in the city, including this original Salvador Dali sculpture.

Hotel Le Concorde has a glass elevator that rises to a rotating restaurant atop the building. Follow the signs inside the lobby and get a great view on the ride up.

Another elevating ride is available on the funicular. It beats climbing the stairs into the walled part of the city.

The famous Château Frontenac. Started in 1893, the hotel now boasts over 600 rooms.

 Many folks think this famous hotel is a castle and it is easy to see why.

Public space atop the old city wall yields great views of the river and fun people watching.

Talented street performers entertained us with old style slapstick comedy.

 Exterior of what was once a Catholic Church…

…has been converted into a beautiful public library.

Unique decorative touches popped up on buildings where ever we walked.

I laughed when seeing how close “Weight Watchers’” and “The Art of Eating” were shelved using the Dewey Decimal system.

 Our walking day was complete after stopping at Erico for fresh ice cream…

…and Chocolate! The adjoining small chocolate museum was fun to visit while enjoying our delicious ice cream treats.


I hope this gave you a small taste of this beautiful city. Visiting here makes me wish I had studied french instead of spanish way back in high school days.
