QUEBEC, Birthplace of New France
A Visual Exploration of Quebec City This book is the second in a series of four volumes that will provide a visual exploration of Quebec City, its history and its architecture.

The Château Frontenac/In the Heart of Old Quebec

Within a five-minute walk in any direction, one can reach an astonishing array of historic sites, institutions and buildings spanning four centuries.
