Quebec City 400th Anniversary Celebration Makes it a Perfect Time to Visit
Quebec City – Exploring Canadaès French Canadian Origins and Victorian Architecture
Of all the cities in Canada, Quebec City is most noted for its old world charm, colour and romanticism. Restoration in part of the city has returned some of the culture and ambience of the city as it existed 300 to 400 years ago. Throughout its history, Quebec City was controlled by English and French nationals, yet the French were most staunch about calling this city its own. It is considered the heart and soul of French culture in Canada and in North America.
Quebec City has been declared a UNESCO world heritage site and it is the only walled city in North America. The wall tells us much about the battles that too place here in centuries past, battles important to the formation of Canada as a nation and to the development of French civilization in the country. Quebec City was founded as a city 400 years ago, and the 400th anniversary celebrations are on. This summer has to be the perfect opportunity, although the anniversary will undoubtedly improve the city for tourists for coming years.
