| Le Chateau Frontenac dominates the old city of Quebec |
After Niagara Falls, we drove back to Toronto and flew up to Quebec City. We stayed 2 nights in the beautiful and historic converted castle, Le Chateau Frontenac, that dominates the old city on the banks of the mighty St Lawrence River. Quebec is a small city (~ 0.6 million), but steeped in history and the centre of the French connection in Canada. The old city’s narrow and steep streets and quaint shops made us think we were in Europe. Very clean and tidy, polite people, good food, quite European, but the Chateau Frontenac was the jewel in the crown.
