A visit to Old Quebec

---

Old Quebec City has been one of my favorite cities in North America since I was a kid. Being the only walled city in North America and having existed since the 1600's gained it status as a Unesco World Heritage site. It also gives it great character. this day in September the weather was spectacular for strolling through the city.

Restaurant aux Anciens Canadiens
I love the style of this building and it is a common one out in the rural areas around Quebec City. We didn't eat here today, but I have in the past and they have great traditional Quebec food like tortierre and sugar pie.

Chateau Frontenac
C and the boys walking with the chateau in the background. A spectacular hotel inside and acts like kind of the crown of the old city as it sits at the top of the city overlooking the water.

Row of picturesque buildings alongside the Chateau Frontenac along the boardwalk overlooking the river.

Arists Alley
A narrow alley near the Chateau where artists display and sell their work. Lots of neat, relatively inexpensive, souvenirs to be had here.
