Travel stories and photos from Quebec, Canada. 16 posts.
Walking further away from the center, I found myself in a typical working-class neighborhood of Quebec City, built at the turn of the 20th century. The houses here are very similar to those in Montreal (https://t.me/alexshitpost/3124?single) - 2-3 stories,…
Rue du Sault-au-Matelot is another well-known pedestrian street in Old Quebec. It's amazing how this type of urban landscape is so different from the rest of Canada. During my trip, I walked and literally photographed every street like this, because it's…
#Quebec Flags on bars in Canada are always funny. Italy, Quebec, Canada, Mexico, France, Korea - together we are one!
#Quebec Those garbage trucks aren't meant for streets like these, guys.
In Quebec, there is the oldest port in Canada, which, even during the colonial era, was used to transport goods up the river to Toronto and Montreal. Although Vancouver has long held the lead in terms of cargo volumes…
#Quebec They say that the best view in the city can be seen from the hill named after Pierre Dugua de Mons, located near the old citadel. Well, I won't argue with that!
Religion plays a much more significant role in Quebec than in other parts of Canada. Historically, being Franco-Canadian meant being Catholic, in part as a contrast to English Protestantism. Despite the declining trend, Quebec remains the province with the…
But Quebec doesn't end at the walls of the Old City! As you move further away from the center, the stone buildings give way to brick, and instead of European-style houses, you find more classic American apartment buildings, which are more reminiscent of…
Once you venture beyond the old city center, the fairytale ends... #Quebec, after all, remains a city in North America, and almost every city here suffered in the 70s from punitive development and motorization. A multi-lane highway was built through the…
No less significant is the building that rises in the center of the city: the Parliament of the province of Quebec. The architects clearly drew inspiration from the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa, but added their own touches to give it a "French" feel –…
#Quebec In the evening, the old city center comes alive with a variety of colors. It feels like summer, but the atmosphere is reminiscent of Christmas!
Saint Jean pedestrian street, one of the oldest in Quebec. A cobblestone street, bustling pubs and restaurants, houses made of stone and brick... It looks like a French city, but it has a surprisingly Irish feel!
#Quebec I have no complaints about the food in Canada – it's a country of immigrants, which means you can easily find cuisine from any part of the world in any city. However, finding good European cuisine at a reasonable price is becoming a problem! And…
It's hard not to notice the elephant while walking through the streets of #Quebec! Right in the middle of the 18th-century historical district stands the enormous Fairmont Château Frontenac hotel. This is one of 20 grand hotels built by the Canada Pacific…
#Quebec - Where is it? I think not everyone is familiar with the geography of Canada, and many don't know that we have as many as 10 provinces. Quebec is one of them, and the only one where French is the official language. This is due to historical reasons…
I'm starting my short vacation in a rather unusual city, with a cup of coffee, in the old square called Place Royale. Someone in the comments managed to guess where the place in the photo is, but I suppose it's not familiar to most people. Three-story stone…
