This isn’t France
⏰ I spent 24 Hours in Quebec City last April and here’s everything we did:
🏰 We started the day by walking into theOld Port. It was like taking a walk through time.
☕️ First stop was Café La Madison Smith, Notre-Dame where we got coffee and pastries. Located in thePlace Royale , I’m so glad we went here first thing in the morning because it let us enjoy the plaza without all the people around!
🇨🇦 Once the shops opened for the day, we walked through the old port and road the Funicular. When in the old port make sure to check out the Fresque du Petit-Champlain, which is a mural depicting various points of history in this neighborhood.
🥐🧀 We ate some wonderful meals in Quebec City, even though we did no research prior and just wang it. We ate at the following Restaurants and would definitely recommend them all:
Breakfast at Au Petit Chalet
Lunch at Bistro Hortus
Dinner at 1640 Bistro
Drinks at The Pub St Patrick 🍀🍻
👫🏻 After lunch we walked along the Governors’ Promenade. Here you’ll be able to get the best views of the St. Lawerence River and the famous Fairmont Le Château Frontenac For all the history buffs this is the hotel where Winston Churchill and FDR planned the storming of Normandy)
🌇 You can walk along the Promenade to get to thePlains of Abraham , a historic battlefield and joining Citadel
💦 End the trip at Montmorency Falls. Located only 15 minutes from Old Town Quebec this waterfall is 98 ft taller than Niagara Falls!
