Amazing Interior When you see the outside of the church, it is very impressive, but not fancy. When you enter the building, it is amazing how ornate the inside of the building is. Like you see in so many Roman Catholic churches, they put a lot in making the inside...
Notre Dame de Quebec There were also many old churches scattered around the city. This is one of those old churches. I thought it was impressive. Nothing too “over-the-top” but still impressive when you consider its age. It was built in 1647 and has been...
Parliament As you travel around the city (we walked) you also see the structural beauty of the old architecture in the buildings. This is the Parliament building. Not only did it show the old style architecture, but there was some beautiful statue work around it too....
Exhilarating Orange In Quebec City, they take a lot of pride in their visual beauty. Along with the art, the flowers planted around the city were really quite pretty as well. I don’t know what this flower is, but I really love the bright orange fading to a...
Paint the City Here is another mural. This one was a painting of the city from “back in the day.” I didn’t find anything that told who painted it, but whoever it was, they definitely have some talent. I’ve always wished that I could paint, but...

Linda Loving The Streets Old Quebec City was a very quaint town nestled inside a much larger city. Depending on where you went, you could find a lot of signs of the old town as well as much of the more modern city. We spent most of our day in the old part of the city...
Old Quebec City As we left the ship and began our walk to go into Quebec City, we first went through Old Quebec City. It is full of cobblestone streets, old brick buildings, numerous little shops and cafes and plenty of friendly people. As you may have seen in...
Chateau Frontenac This view of the chateau shows is stately, fortress like design. Originally built in , the chateau has gone through a number of struggles over time. It fell to disrepair and then was refurbished in the 1690’s. Then it burned down in the...
Quebec City This view of the city from the port is a little misleading. There is much more to see once you start to walk around. The big building that you see is a “hotel” for lack of a better description. It is the Château Frontenac and it is quite a...
