Chateau Frontenac where we had the chance to walk around and explore the old
town at our own pace. Expecting Hugh Jackman to step out and break into
song, you could not be blamed for thinking that you had walked into a scene
of Les Miserable. The cobbled streets, charming chateaus, the romantic
horse drawn carriages and with a little imagination you could believe
yourself to be back in 17th Century France. Well a lot of imagination, as
the crowds did detract from the ambience.
Too much to do in the short time we had, we hardly scratched the surface of
Quebec City. Choosing to walk down towards the Grand train station, we
missed the quaint streets that lay at the foot of the funicular. But there
were no regrets, the station buildings looked like palaces in their own
right and then walking along the waterfront we came across the Port Markets.
Fresh fruits, cheese, wines and other local products were on sale.
We were lucky to be in Quebec during one of its festivals. This meant we
had extra pop up markets with lots of arts and crafts for sale. Down on the
waterfront next to the ship a stage was set up for the free circus show that
was to be held that evening. Note: To protect against computer viruses,
