Description
I first visited Quebec to attend Expo 67 in Montreal. That experience opened my eyes to the world and seeded my lifelong interest in travel. The Expo extravaganza was something this prairie girl could never have imagined - even in her wildest dreams.
I’ve since returned many times to explore more of Montreal and Quebec City. I’m always delighted to have a chance to: converse in my sadly lacking but serviceable French, enjoy the amazing food, and soak up the European atmosphere.
I’m especially enamored by the Vieux-Quebec area with: the Chateau Frontenac, the funicular, the Breakneck Stair connecting upper and lower town, the shops, stone buildings and narrow cobblestone streets. La Fresque des Quebecois near Place Royale is a massive trompe-l’oeil mural that is definitely worth a visit.
This restaurant, Aux Anciens Canadiens, sits on Rue Saint-Louis. It operates out of one of the oldest houses in Quebec, which was originally built in 1675.
One of the most nerve-wracking experiences of my life as a Canadian was the night of the 1995 sovereignty referendum when (thankfully) Quebecers voted to stay in the confederation by a narrow margin of not quite one percent. I did not then and do not now wish for a separate Quebec. La Belle Province is most definitely a part of my Canada, and I look forward to exploring more of it in the years ahead.
