J'adore Quebec

I am not really a city person so I was a little surprised with how much I fell in love with Quebec. I think mostly because it is so unique, it has an old world charm and obviously reminds me of Europe. I woke to a stunning day with barely a cloud in the sky. Danielle's aunt Monique had offered to meet me for a walk and lunch and so it was that I got to spend a few hours walking the sights with her. She was awesome company and made sure to show me all the highlights and a few hidden gems. 

Monique also invited me for dinner later in the evening and her husband Pierre cooked a lovely meal after which we popped out for a stroll to see Quebec after dark. It really was a beautiful day and this city has definitely made it on to my fairly select list of places I would like to come back to.


Outside the parliament building with wonderful gardens.

View of the Chateau Frontenac, terrace and port.

One of the 'stair-masters' of Quebec to get between the upper and lower parts of town.

View from Monique and Pierre's little rented appartment in the heart of the old town.

My reference for where to turn to get back to their appartment for dinner, the 'cannonball' tree!!
