A City with History2

Québec City, one of the most important French-speaking cities in America, welcomes you with open arms. Indeed, every year, four million visitors are seduced by the old France look of the city, with its charm and modern appeal that follow the tracks of Samuel de Champlain, founder of the city in 1608.

UNESCO recognised Quebec’s uniqueness by including Old Quebec in the prestigious family of world heritage treasures.

 

With over 650,000 inhabitants, the administrative region of Québec is known under the official name of the National Capital region, thus highlighting its importance to Québec society.

 

In autumn, Québec nature puts on her many beautiful colors: green, yellow, orange and red.  The multiple colors of the leaves offer a breathtaking sight.
