Quebec City Highlights

After visit number six or seven, Quebec City has yet to disappoint me. I am still smitten. Here are a few highlights from my weekend trip:

• Wandering the streets with D. with no plans or obligations, discovering treasures along the way
• Photographing the layers, colours and textures of Old Quebec’s historic architecture
• Stumbling upon the illuminated Potager des visionnaires at night, atop the Musée de la civilisation
• Walking along Dufferin Terrace with D. at night
• Le Moulin à images (a 0.6km projection of images of the past 400 years in Quebec City on the silos of Quebec's port - check out the video clips to if you have time)
• Discovering rue St-Jean with its cafés, shops and restaurants – épicerie J. A. Moisan, claiming to be one of North America’s oldest grocery stores (if not the oldest), was definitely a favourite with its wooden shelves, glass cabinets and jazz playing in the background, not to mention its scrumptious offerings of “produits du terroir”
• Enjoying cheap, good breakfast fare at Buffet de l’Antiquaire three days in a row – the “cheapest breakfast in town” according to the local couple sitting beside us on Day 2. Here's what the Lonely Planet has to say.

I'll no doubt share a few favourite photos in a later post. I already look forward to my next visit.
