A few years ago I visited Quebec City and many of the churches are facing an uncertain future. Our tour bus operator pointed out the different locales where Celine Dion performed including churches, a concert hall and the Plains of Abraham.
The following sites were also memorable, to me:
1.) The terrace at the Chateau Frontenac where dancers and musicians performed.
2,) The cobblestone streets.
3.) The many statues.
4.) Louis S. St-Laurent Building at 3 Passage du chien d'or where I mailed postcards.
5.) Gare du Palais where the Via train station and a bus depot are located.
6.) An elevator between upper and lower town called the Funicular Lift.
7.) The lobby at the Chateau where a dog (a Labrador Retriever I believe) is a permanent resident.
