Discover the charm and history of the most European-like fortified city in North América. My suggested itinerary will include both the Lower-Town and the Upper-Town in Old Québec. This 3-hour walking tour around Old Québec will allow you to understand the different periods of the city and the country. We will start with the importance of the First Nations; continue with the arrival of the first French settlers and the creation of the Royal colony of New France; we pursue the creation of the British Province of Québec and the Dominion of Canada. I always discuss contemporary Québec, the only officially French-speaking society in the heart of North America. Québec City and particularly, the Old Walled City will surprise you with its beauty, its history and its vibrant European atmosphere. My walking tour of Old Québec can be tailored specially to you, and we can start it at your preferred location. If you are interested in specific sites or subjects, I'd be more than happy to incorporate them.
The typical 3-hour walking tour will describe those places in Upper-Town: - The National Assembly and the Tourny Fountain. - The Saint-Louis Street and Gate. - The Jacquet House (oldest house in the Walled City). - The Ursulines Monastery. - The Anglican Cathedral of the Holy Trinity. - City Hall, including the Price Building (Art Déco) and the seminary. - The Basilica-cathedral of Notre-Dame-de-Québec. - The Lord Dufferin Terrasse and its impressive view of the Saint-Lawrence River. - The iconic Château Frontenac. From Upper-Town to Lower-Town (or vice-versa), we can take either the Côte de la Montagne Street or the Funicular for an extra $5. The typical tour will also include the following places in Lower-Town: - The Break-Neck Stairs. - The Québécois Fresco. - The Place de Paris and the Place Royale (the cradle of the French civilisation in North America). - The Royal Battery (1691). - The Petit-Champlain District, “The Most Beautiful Commercial Street in Canada” (Condé Nast Traveler, 2024).
