400 Year Old Quebec City, PQ
Drove to Quebec City, about ten miles. Today is the Feast of St John the Baptist, a major holiday in Provence Quebec. Over 250,000 people gathered the previous evening on the Plains of Abraham for a concert and fireworks display. The streets in the Old City were still filled with revelers and sanitation workers were cleaning up the debris left from the huge party.
Walk the old city. Do not drive. The streets are very narrow. The old city, vieux Quebec, is surrounded by a wall with only a few gates to permit entry. Stop at the Jesuit Chapel built in 1817. This is a very simple chapel whose architect was a member of the Baillairge dynasty. They seem to have designed most of the churches in Provence Quebec.
