From the Wall of Quebec

Two more images from the wall surrounding Quebec city.

The parliament and the view

Just outside of the walls of Vieux Quebec is another prominent tourist view and that is the parliament building. That is what is seen in the black and white picture below. The second image is in fact related to a previous post and is the view from the boardwalk overlooking the St. Lawrence river, the Vieux Port, and the parts of Vieux Quebec not inside the walls below the Chateau.

Walking around the Streets

When wandering around vieux Quebec there are a many things to see and do all around you. One popular past time ... for those with a few more dollars to throw around, is the tour of Vieux Quebec by horse drawn carriage. Now where do these horses and carriages "park" when they are not gainfully employed? Why at the hitching post that is unmistakably for the horses. One of the other amazing things to see in Vieux Quebec are the many lifelike murals that are on the old buildings, an example of which is seen below. This was one of our favourites. Even editing up this picture my eye was fooled into following the cobblestone path past the arch and believing it.

Vieux Quebec

First stop in Quebec city was a walk through "Vieux Quebec". Just like any "Old _____" part of a city the main attractions are the ancient architecture, narrow streets, majestic churches, and multitude of history. Quebec city is no exception.
