AirCanyon at Canyon Sainte-Anne
Quebecois culture, I end my trip in Quebec City. On a tour of Unesco- listed Old Quebec – the original part of the city – our guide tells us about the French settlers who arrived here in the early 1600s, leaving behind an influence still heavily felt today. We wander cobbled streets, admire grey-stone buildings punctuated by colourful shutters and pass by eclectic cafes, boutiques and galleries.
