<P><b>QUEBEC CITY</b> <BR><P>Spread over Cap Diamant and the banks of the St
Lawrence, <b>QU...BEC CITY </b>is Canada's most beautifully located and most
historic city. Vieux-Qu�bec, surrounded by solid fortifications, is the only
walled city in North America, a fact that prompted UNESCO to classify it as a
World Heritage Treasure in 1985. In both parts of the Old City - Haute and Basse
- the winding cobbled streets are flanked by seventeenth- and eighteenth-century
stone houses and churches, graceful parks and squares, and countless monuments.
Although some districts have been overly renovated to give the tourists as
seductive an introduction to Qu�bec as possible, this is an authentically and
profoundly French city: 96 percent of its 500,000 population are
French-speaking, and it is often difficult to remember which continent you are
in as you tuck into a croissant and a steaming bowl of coffee in a caf� full of
the aromas and sounds of Paris. <p>Arriving from Montr�al you're immediately struck by the differences between
the province's two main cities. <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Times New Roman; mso-bidi-font-family: Times New Roman; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: HE">While
Montreal is international and modern, Quebec City is very much traditional, a
residue of the days when the city was the bastion of the Catholic Church in
Canada</span>. On the other hand,
the Church can claim much of the credit for the creation and preservation of the
finest buildings, from the quaint <b>...glise Notre-Dame-des-Victoires </b>to the
decadently opulent <b>Basilique Notre-Dame de Qu�bec </b>and the vast <b>Seminary</b>.
In contrast, the austere defensive structures, dominated by the massive <b>Citadelle</b>,
reveal the military pedigree of a city dubbed by Churchill as the
"Gibraltar of North America", while the battlefield of the <b>Plains
of Abraham </b>are now a national historic park. Of the city's rash of museums,
two are essential visits - the modern <b>Mus�e de la Civilisation</b>, in
Vieux-Qu�bec, expertly presenting all aspects of French-Canadian society, and
the recently expanded <b>Mus�e du Qu�bec</b>, in the Haute-Ville, west of
Vieux-Qu�bec, which has the finest art collection in the province.</p>
<p>Outside the city limits, the town of <b>L�vis </b>and the Huron reservation,
<b>Wendake</b>, make worthwhile excursions, whilst the churches and farmland of
the <b>C�te-de- Beaupr� </b>and the <b>�le d'Orl�ans </b>hark back to the
days of the seigneurs and <i>habitants</i>. The gigantic <b>Basilique de
Ste-Anne-de-Beaupr�</b>, attracting millions of pilgrims annually, is one of
the most impressive sights in Qu�bec, and for equally absorbing natural sights
there are the spectacular waterfalls at <b>Montmorency </b>and <b>Sept-Chutes</b>,
and the wildlife reserve in the <b>Laurentians</b>.</p>
