I am delighted to take you on a journey through time, as we explore the rich history and cultural significance of Québec City's historic area. With a history spanning over 400 years, this charming city, nestled along the St. Lawrence River, offers a treasure trove of stories and heritage that make it a unique and captivating destination.

Québec City's historic area is an architectural and cultural gem that has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, and it is the only city in North America with its original city walls still intact. The city's history dates back to 1608 when the French explorer Samuel de Champlain established a fur trading post here. Over the centuries, Québec City has seen the ebb and flow of empires, from French colonial rule to British conquest, and eventually, Canadian independence. This layered history is evident in the city's diverse architecture and rich cultural traditions.
