Québec - basically forming the skyline all by itself: the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac - 611 rooms :)
A short walk from the hotel is the Promenade des Gouverneurs and the Terrasses Dufferin
Next to the Hotel: A statue of the city's founder: Samuel de Champlain.
St. Lawrence river is one amazing body of water. In Quebec, the average quantity is 12'000m3/s. Imagine this!
Amazing late evening view over the Fleuve Saint-Laurent, bascially widening up after passing the last "narrow" part
The city on the opposite river bank is called Lévis - and linked by a ferry.

Visiting the Citadel / Bastion of the Royal 22nd Regiment. Mostly french speaking, with a band, and the largest in the Canadian Army. Well worth a visit!!
Cap badge of The Royal 22e Régiment. Very nice artwork!

The last night held a special surprise: A fireworks battle!
Scouting for a good position on Citadel hill... stumbling down the stairs here ... twisting the ankle ... most painful photosession ever!
One of the competition fireworks of the Grands Feux Loto-Québec was on!
Merci, Québec!
View from the East after leaving the city limits, au révoir belle ville!
