Quebec B&B Hotels

The only way to see much of the old city is to take a walking tour. The streets there are rather narrow and the buildings represent a mixture of religious, military and residential events of old times. Outside the walls there is the Citadel, the largest fortification in North America. Not far from the place there is a Dufferin Terrace opening a spectacular view of the St Lawrence and the old lower town. Place Royale which is considered to be the birthplace of Québec City is also interesting as well the church Notre-Dame-des Victoires which was the starting point of Louis Joliet for his voyage to the west, proceeding then to the Mississippi River and down to the southern Illinois. The exhibit Nous sommes les Québécois is presented in the Musée de la Civilisation and is important for making the full picture of Québec's history.

There is the National Battlefields Park which encompasses the Plains of Abraham, the site of the famous battle when Quebec was conquered by the British.
