Quebec City 7/10

Our first stop on our trip "down east" is Quebec City

What a novel way to see the city
The Chateau/Castle looms over the
400 year old city
Oldest building in the city - 1680

Musee de Civilisation
One of the many gardens and fountains thru-out the city

Restored vintage buildings

In the heart of the Vieux Ville

Looks and feels like a European village

Notre Dame de Victoire - built in 1670

Protectorate of those who worked on the river
and who arrived in the New World

Mimes - gotta love 'em!

One of the many sidewalk cafes

Samuel de Champlain -
the founder of Quebec in 1608



Main courtyard entrance to the
Chateau Frontenac

Le Conte de Frontenac himself -
namesake for the Hotel

The lobby - a trip back to the 19th century


A view of the Promenade from the hotel


In the Salon de Rose

A cocktail break in the bar in the Chateau


Our lunch arrives - Quebecois cheeses, fruit and
a sparkling mango cocktail and a Q'espresso

Fruit as Art!

A walk from the Chateau down to the Vieux Ville

Another outdoor cafe - Parisien style

Artists Alley

This ones for Barney - a caricaturist in the artists alley

A cool spot to view and buy local art

We bought a copper etching print
from this artist
