visiting Quebec City

Bonjour

Veuillez excuser mon français.
Je vais à Quebec City en deux semaines et je veux voir et photographier des bâtiments pour mon website.

Quels sont les meilleurs bâtiments dans la ville ?

La Citadelle, le Chateau Frontenac, les rues dans La Vieux-Quebec, la Musee de l"Amerique du Nord Francais.

And there's about six or so skyscrapers that look kinda interesting.

I've only been to Quebec City three times, so that's the gist of what I know about the city. It's very beautiful. Hope you have a great time.

La Barberie and L'Inox both brew awesome beers. I think L'Inox is moving tought, so it'll probably be closed.

As for the buildings, Price Building is nice. The school of architecture of Université Laval is definitely worth a sight also. You'll need to know beforehand where that one is; it's kind of hard to find.

L'édifice Price vaut définitivement qu'on le prenne en photo

If you want to visit a nice pub with a lot of international beers and local as well, dont miss "l'oncle antoine" which is located in "place royale" in the heart of old quebec city. It's a warm place with walls build with rocks and a nice fireplace. For this time of the year, it's very welcome. There's a new place in Levis on the other side of St-Laurence river just aside the ferry. While going out at the ferry station, turn to your right in the building just aside. It's a new micro-brewery in Levis. So just enjoy taking the ferry and have a good beer while having the best view of quebec city. And hey! Nice to see you in Quebec City.

Back in Winterpeg - loved Quebec - you have an amazing city, and such friendly people. We'll be back.

Oh and Thursday night in the Bell Centre was pretty nice too

Freud · #20 Posted **Jan 22, 2009, 9:21 PM**

1) Abandoned church on Grande Allée. Promoter wants to sell for condo, office, or anything that could work...
2) not sure
3) Used to be a bank, but now just some office space
4) Used to be the Court House, but now the Revenue Quebec Minister office.
