QUEBEC CITY
(Victorian Society in America Spring Study Tour)
MAY 20 - 23

Chateau Frontenac	Residence of the Governor General	Place Royale

Quebec City has an old world atmosphere that makes it unlike any other city in North America, today, the heart of French culture in North America. With its fortification walls, historic buildings and narrow, winding streets, it is the first city on the continent to have been placed on UNESCO's World Heritage List, the only walled city north of Mexico.

Walking tours in the Upper and Lower Towns reveal Quebec’s rich history, architecture and charm. See Notre-Dame de Québec Basilica, the Ursuline Chapel, Place Royale, the Citadel (the largest British-built fortress in North America) and the Governor General’s Residence, and the iconic Château Frontenac hotel designed by American architect, Bruce Price, 1893, the Provincial Parliament, and the Plains of Abraham, where British soldiers defeated the French in a historic battle on 13 September 1759.
