A Mostly Photo-Style Trip Report of Quebec City About This Page:

[christiejay]

Thanks for taking the time to write this up and post the pictures. It is a beautiful city, I would love to visit there some day. Glad you had such a great time!

[karadisney]

WOW! Put this city on my list of places to visit! How beautiful. I love the streets and the buildings they are beautiful. Thank you for taking the pictures and sharing!

I wondered if you were going to post pictures. I'm glad that I found them. It was a very nice walk down memory lane. We have so many of the same pictures. When we visited Qeubec City we stayed in a B&B in lower town. Oh my gosh! walking up those hills were about to kill me. I was huffing and puffing and along came someone older tham me on a bike.

I've got to know which restaurant that you had lunch on the Grand Allee. We had a superb table de'hote for lunch across the street from McD's.

DH and I are hoping that we can return to Quebec for our 15th wedding anniversary. Thanks for posting all of your wonderful photos and providing us with memories.

Great pictures. As Minnie Lor said, its a reminder of a great vacation we took a few years ago. We stayed at a hotel on Rue St Paul and made the walk up to the old town a couple of times. We would certainly like to make a trip back again. We spent 4 days in Montreal, took the trail to Quebec City and then spent 3 days in Quebec City and loved every minute of it.

Wow - this is a great mini-trip report. Your photos are really beautiful. Seems like a wonderful place to tag along to . I used to live in Northern NY and would go up to Montreal on occasion, but sadly never made it up to Quebec City. I still hope to get up there one day. It looks like it is truly a beautiful city. Thank you for sharing your report.

I'm glad I did it once, but that hill kicked my butt! It wouldn't be as bad if you are healthy and have a moderate level of physical fitness, but I kinda wish I'd grabbed a cab to go back to my hotel. It really wasn't the smartest decision I ever made. I have an injury from my accident last year and even today I'm still hurting from walking up the hill. In fact, I now think I'll be in a wheelchair again in WDW in a couple weeks because I'm not sure I can walk as much as you have to in WDW.

We ate table d'hote at a couple of the sidewalk cafe's on Grand Allee, but the one that photo is from was Auberge Aux Canons, I believe, and it is across the street from McD's. You can't miss it - it has a couple cannons at the entrance to the sidewalk dining area and a bright red metal roof - absolutely delicious meal. We also ate at Cosmos (they have a window aquarium looking into each of the bathrooms from the eating areas! ), St Hubert in the Chateau Laurier (I had a problem there because I'm an English Canadian, but that's a political thing and English speakers from other countries would not likely run into that issue - and trust me her tip suffered immensely for pulling that crap). and the Cafe across the street from St Hubert. We wanted to eat at a couple others, but never managed to get around to that.

I did check WikiTravel and a couple other websites before we left, but it's not really that I did my homework, so much as it's a great 're-learning' city. This is all stuff we learned in 8th Grade Social Studies but it came back quickly - there are booklets all over in the tourist areas with all the history of the area, plus our tour guide at The Citadel was awesome.

And to everybody who is saying they would love to go to Quebec City, I say Do It!! It's awesome!!

Most definitely put Quebec City on your tour list. While you are there, take the guided tour of the Chateau Frontenac. The cost is reasonable and its very informative. We were even taken into the Presidential Suite while there. Table d'hote on the Grand Allee is a must. We only wish we had discovered it earlier in our stay. We found it by accident after trying to get into a high priced "French Canadian Traditional" restaurant for lunch. Food was excellent and the service was even better. We also took the boat tour on the St Lawrence that went out to the Mt Morency (spelling wrong) falls.

Fantastic photos! TFS.

Wow Donna! What a beautiful place. Those pictures are great and so glad you got to go.

[Disneydiana]

Thanks for the pictures! i love looking at other people's vacation pics . That cannonball tree was crazy.

[DyanKJ130]

Beautiful photographs, Donna! Looks like you had a lot of fun!

[Luvsun]

Those are great pictures!
That hill is amazing! I am impressed that you walked it even the one time!
Thanks for sharing with us Donna!

[ricecakes]

We were there last year around this time and it was lovely. Your pics have brought back some fond memories. thanks.

PS. If anyone is going and needs to shop for kids there is a HUGE toy store called Benjo on rue st. catherines est. Great store with the big seller toys and the more off beat toys too. Also kids clothes: check out souris mini found in the shopping malls. the clothes are really cute and a little more european in design ( Gap pricing but with very distinctive designs)

Just saw this!
Wonderful to see pictures from Quebec. DD Lauren went in May, but I've not seen any pictures yet.
I know they went to the Citadel also.
Thanks for the trip.

Great pictures Donna! Bob and I got engaged at L'estral (the rotating restaurant in the hotel you stayed at) so these pictures bring back so many memories. I think it's time to go back!
