Quebec City
Columbus Day weekend? Time to sneak one last mini-road trip in before winter.
Let's check out le Ville de Quebec away from the Old City.

Heading north, Connecticut River Valley, NH


All manner of foliage going on


-
Into Quebec, Canada
-

Lunch break at Lac Aylmer, QC


Northward




A quick stop in the city of Victoriaville






St. Lawrence River.




near Leclercville, QC






near Lotbiniere








Into Quebec City, St-Roch/Basse-Ville neighborhood


Things seemed pretty quiet, which might be due to the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. The streets were brilliantly free of cars.


Rue du Roi










Quebc City, est. 1608


Stairs up to Haute-Ville (Upper City)






Rue de l'Eglise












Up the stairs






Laurentian Mtns


Cote d'Abraham - Rue St-Real


Side streets of Haute-Ville


blurry, but I liked it


Rue de la Tourelle




Rue Ste-Olivier








Rue St-Jean, the main drag


Boul. Rene-Levesque, near the tourist area.


Is this the legislature? I have no idea.





















Around the Lower City again






















Rue de la Salle








Southwest up the St. Lawrence


Next up: The industrial workhorse of Quebec

Great pictures of some of Quebec City's other neighborhoods. The pictures of Victoriaville were a nice addition, as well; I've wondered what that place and some of the other QMJHL cities and towns look like.

Thank you so much for this thread! As a resident of Quebec City, I need to comment on how refreshing it is to see a QC thread without a single photo taken of Vieux Québec. You did a wonderful job capturing St-Roch, Basse-Ville and Saint-Jean-Baptiste.

The building is indeed the Legislature of Quebec or Assemblée Nationale (National Assembly).

Killer thread, thanks man! This is the first time I've seen anything outside the touristy areas of Quebec City.

Great pics! I think Canadian cities tend to appear more European than American cities that have their own thing going on, but I really like it just the same
