Summer before school started last year, I visited Old Quebec City. The journey taken by four-wheel drive from Ottawa.
Distance Ottawa – Quebec City about 430 Km, if taken through a fast track usually only takes 4 and a half hours but this time I took 3 days. Yes, I chose the slow lane following the river St. Lawrence with a more interesting sight than the fast track through. Scenic Route term. Through town St.Jerome, Trois-Rivières, and eventually Old Quebec City, the main goal. At St. Jerome, I did not get anything just nunut aka sleep. The city is usually crowded when fitted winter, because many tourists are here for the purpose of transit Mont-Tremblant, one of the famous skiing place in eastern Canada. After St. Jerome journey continues into the Trois-Rivières.
Trois-Rivières are located right in the middle of Montreal in Quebec City. Formerly a major city paper and pulp producer. Trois-Rivières has enough historical and ancient buildings that can bring in tourists. The main street of the famous Boulevard des Forges. Along this road there are old buildings, cafes, restaurants and I enjoy a very good burger here, forget the name .. hiks restonya. In this city there is also the Ursulines Monastery was founded around the late 1690’s.
Then came the Roman Catholic in 1852. After staying overnight trip to Quebec City forwarded. Along the way you see the fields and the river St. Lawrence. Following the path Chemin du Roy (King Street) which is also a path for bike fans happy. Du Quartier Petit Champlain is one street in Old Quebec City is very busy and always packed with tourists, some photos taken when the stores that sell the work of artists in the district Quartier du Petit Champlain is still closed.
How to ’sell’ in a travel destination necessary. Cafe and red-roofed hotel is said to be the first place did ‘French Kiss’ on the American continent. It is located right in front of Le Chateau Frontenac Old Quebec City mascot. Around here there are aisle displaying paintings by local artists.
Le Chateu Frontenac is the heart of the old city. Located on a hill and overlooking the river St. Lawrence. Around this castle was then carried out archaeological excavations. Many buildings are built by workers from Scotland, so maybe that chef in Scotland could see the resemblance to some castle in Scotland. This castle now serves as a hotel owned by Fairmont Hotel and Resort.
