Honnêtement, je ne suis pas un expert en croissants, mais j'ai trouvé qu'il était très bon. Croustillant et feuilleté à l'extérieur, aérien et moelleux à l'intérieur.

Par contre, j'ignore si ça se compare avec les bons croissants qu'on peux trouver à Paris! Je vais devoir aller tester ça!

Les "bons" croissants qu'on peut trouver au Québec de nos jours (dans presque toutes les régions) n'ont rien à envier à ceux de nos cousins d'outre-mer.

Man, some of these newer buildings are really horrible IMO. Good job with the photo tour, it's pretty representative and doesn't focus on the classic tourist spots -- which in fact are pretty conspicuously absent. You live in the St-Jean-Baptiste or Montcalm 'hood, right?

Lovely tour and colours, textures and du beurre.

I like several of the contrasting images of historic and recent buildings.

Je suis surpris et heureux en même temps que tu dises ça!
Ça veux dire que le savoir faire du croissant a traversé l'atlantique

I'm not always a fan of the newest buildings either, but IMO those that have being built in the downtown area are looking much better than what you find in the suburbs.

For several years, I had concentrated myself a bit too much on the old town, that's why I try to share pictures from the surrounding areas. I'm convinced that Québec City has much more to offer than the old town itself, even if it's the most beautiful part. I think it's an invitation for tourists to venture outside of the old town.

I used to live in the Montcalm district (Which I adored!) but I moved in Charlesbourg since 2018. The Trait-Carré area is quite nice and has kept that ''village'' feel.

Contrast, that's something that I often like to bring when I'm sharing pictures!
