Description:
VIEUX QUEBEC. You'll not only enjoy a tasty treat at Café de la Terrace, but you'll also delight in a beautiful view of the Saint-Lawrence while you dine. The lunch buffet, very reasonably priced, features the culinary magic of Chef Jean Soulard, whose dishes are inspired by traditional Québec favorites. The buffet is available until 2:30 and is a super idea if you've been traveling all day. |

Description:
VIEUX QUEBEC. In the past, this park was the site of military drills, exercises and parades. However, in the early 1900s, the Place d'Armes was re-opened as a public park. The Monument of Faith, a sculpture commemorating the arrival of Recollet Mona from France in 1615, now graces the park. In addition to the Monument of Faith , the park displays a diamond-shaped monument that hails Québec's designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Québec is the only city in North America to hold such grand distinction. |

Description:
VIEUX QUEBEC. As you stroll around Old Québec, you'll find that the city has much to offer in the way of artwork and crafts, most of it on sale in galleries and boutiques. However, when you find this neat little alley, running from Rue Ste-Anne to Rue Buade, you'll feel as though you've stepped back in time 100 years. During the warmer months, painters and craftspeople showcase and peddle their work in an environment that is charmingly unique. Most of the artwork depicts local street scenes. Even if you don't buy anything, you'll find yourself mysteriously drawn to the alley again and again. |
