Québec City
A walled French town in North America.
Old-world ramparts, the Château Frontenac, and unmistakable French soul over the St. Lawrence.
Québec City is the only walled city north of Mexico, and it feels transplanted whole from France. The Château Frontenac, the most photographed hotel in the world, presides over the St Lawrence; cobbled Petit-Champlain winds below the ramparts; the Plains of Abraham still carry the weight of 1759. Montmorency Falls thunders just downstream.
