The craddle of New France,
Québec, is a city, whose atmos-
phere and architecture are
more reminiscent of Europe than
of America.

And for shure it is a lively city
all year round, distinguished in
the fall by the changing colours
of the leaves, in winter by its
famous carnival, in the spring by
 the street musicians and the
newly opended terraces and in
the summer by its several famous festivals.

With over 95 % of the population of French ancestry, Quebec city is home to an impressive number of excellent restaurants and cafes.
