this enchanting little city is filled to the brim with french culture, winding cobblestone streets, darling chalets, and cozy cafés. it absolutely stole our hearts. it’s the crown jewel of french canada, and a slice of europe in north america. it has the first cathedral built in north america, it hosts carnivals that draw thousands, it has character, charm, and it’s impossible not to love it. there is no other place like it in north america. i dare anyone to visit this town and not enjoy it. a very high percentage of tourists who visit quebec city later come back to it again, and i believe it because i’m already making plans for when we can visit next :) can you tell we adored it? let’s start by explaining that quebec city is perched on top of a cliff looking over the st. lawrence river. it is the only walled city in the US/canada, and it really & truly feels authentically european, but with the french candian influence. everyone walking around (including us) is in awe and wondering how they have never heard of/ made it here before.
i took one look at this street and about dropped to
the ground with happiness. this is my heaven! ^^^
also my heaven: eating croque monsieurs + warm
french onion soup in an old stone tavern watching the
rain with this guy. take me back to this lunch!!!
french foooood! why is it so good?
biggest smile all day ^^^
^^ the fall trees + gorgeous buildings +
historic cathedral were too much.
i love this picture because i loved the château and liked
this cannon — and this catches me taking it all in.
however, chase ruined it for me when he said..
“it looks like your head is about to be blown by the
cannon!” haha…now i can only think that. thanks! :)
^^ i would not complain if this was my front door.
^^ after a rainy morning {which i loved}, the sun came
out which was also so gorgeous. i can’t even imagine
how pretty quebec city is during all times of the year.
we walked along this rain-soaked boardwalk as it
dried out from the sun and admired the gorgeous château
frontenac. chase also filmed here, video coming friday!
