Hospitality Guide

Bonjour mes amis!

Let’s talk French. Quebec City, la belle provence, is her nick name… short form for beautiful, inside and out. Quebec City-ers:  Unlike what some of us may have heard about this French-dominated population, they don’t actually hate English folk!! (That’s only Montrealers…!)  Instead they welcome you with open arms, celebration, and lots of great, great food! I’ve got 3 words for you: Maple syrup pie. If there is one thing that you should take with you from my rambling, it’s those 3 glorious words… and remember one piece is easily your sugar intake for a month! I ate the whole pie.

Quebec is celebrating its 400th anniversary this year!  The city was filled with tourists, banners, horse-drawn carriages and life.  An image mill - the world’s largest projection screen played across 81silos - hard to envision but trust me on this one- became the go-to place for over 5000 people every night for over 2 months now, projecting animated and real footage of the history if Quebec City in its last 400 years.

          Don’t know what we would do without our fabulous tour guide Marguerita who showed us the greatest places in Quebec City to see, from restaurants to stunning views to hotels and ferry rides, she had it covered! Le Chateau Frontenac is a must-see! (Well it’s literally a ‘must-see’ because no matter where you look you can see the Chateau perched above a mountain!)It is stunning.  But you might have to actually be a King if you want to stay the night at Le Chateau… Rooms vary anywhere from $200 - $6000/ night. Ballin’.

If you want to get a sense of Europe in Canada, visit QC. The narrow streets, cafés, boulangeries, shops, cobblestone roads and the overwhelming French language everywhere you turn, will truly make you scream “Vive le Quebec!”

A bientôt!

P.S. Quebec = Poutine. ‘Nough said.
