Inside the City Walls: Exploring Old Quebec

Recently I had the opportunity to visit Quebec City, the capital city of the province of Quebec. Located along the St. Lawrence River, Quebec City is one of the oldest cities in North America. The ramparts surrounding Old Quebec are the only fortified city walls remaining in Canada and the United States, and were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985. The city’s most famous landmark is the Chateau Frontenac, which was our home base.

While I was there for work, I did take some time to walk around Old Quebec and experience the French culture. I also visited Maple Delights where I learned more about the maple industry in Quebec, sampled some tasty maple products and of course purchased some delicious maple syrup.

Here are some photos from inside the city walls.
