Removed from Unnamed collection

Old Québec, a UNESCO World Heritage gem, stands proudly as the only fortified city north of Mexico. As you wander through its historic streets, you'll be enchanted by the European charm that fills the air. Imagine yourself walking through the old quarters, where every corner tells a story of over 400 years of history. This is the birthplace of French North America, a place where past and present blend in a delightful mix.

The cobblestone streets are lined with quaint shops, cozy cafes, and stunning architecture that feels like a little slice of Europe right here in Canada. Don't miss the chance to explore the iconic Château Frontenac, often said to be the most photographed hotel in the world. It's a perfect spot for snapping a memorable picture or simply enjoying a coffee with a view. Whether you're a history buff or just looking for a charming getaway, Old Québec offers a unique experience that's hard to resist.
