Back in historyWelcome to the old Capital City! Here, the ancestral architecture of the buildings points to the fact that Quebec City was the first colonized town in North America (1608). The still standing fortifications that surround the old town make Québec the only fortified city north of Mexico.

Anyone will no doubt fall under the charm of the old city walls, cobble-stoned streets and world-renowned neighbourhoods such as the Petit Champlain and the Place Royale, without forgetting the famous Château Frontenac, one of the most photographed hotels in the world!
