Things to do in Beauport

The cobblestone streets of Old Quebec City are uneven, and the wheels of my suitcase clattered loudly. Houses huddled together on the slopes, their wrought-iron railings rusted, small flowers adorning their windowsills. The aroma of bakery steamed through the alleyways, and around the corner, an old man played the accordion, his melody slow and gentle. Reaching the castle, the St. Lawrence River shimmered grey beneath, and the wind chilled my face. At sunset, the shadows of the city walls stretched long, smoke rose from the chimneys, and the whole city was enveloped in a quiet, golden twilight.

Montmorency Falls is an alternative to Niagara Falls. It is less crowded than Niagara and quieter. A nice place to stroll in the park.

Located in the old town of Quebec, near the cruise ship terminal, you can walk down the stairs or spend a little money to take the cable car down. Petit Champlain Street is not long and is built along the mountain, but there are many shops, especially restaurants and bars. The road is still paved. A bit French!

Compared with the Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, the colors here are much softer. The whole inside is golden, with only a hint of blue on the roof, which makes people think of some religious stories.

The star-shaped fortress castle is a tourist attraction that I discovered by chance while strolling in the old town of Quebec City. I only knew what the attraction was after I entered the fortress and saw the name on the wall. I didn’t really see the star shape because I was in the city.

Cute square lined with shops and cafes. Lovely to take pictures in.

This place is also called the Battlefield Park. It is a large plain. Maybe because of its history, it was also a very large battlefield in ancient times. It is not bad here. It feels very historical and beautiful.

While the Dufferin Terrace offers visitors a spectacular view of the St. Lawrence River, it may not be the best place to visit on a rainy day. Inclement weather can certainly impact the experience and make it less enjoyable, as it can create a mess and limit the outdoor activities available.
