Dick and Sharon made early dinner reservations at their favorite Italian restaurant in Old Quebec. We decided to take the ferry in the afternoon from Levis to the city, which turned out to be a most excellent decision. Not only for the beautiful evening lights mirrored by the river waters as we said good-bye to the city, but the Festival d’ete (summer) de Quebec had just begun (July 6-16), with music from Imagine Dragons, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Lana Del Rey, and others, so parking in the city would have been impossible. The youthful vibe on the ferry and in the old city added to the delightful last-few hours walking those cobblestone streets.
Our campground is located in the upper left corner of the map, under the word “fleuve” (river). The Chateau Frontenac is represented in the top center of the map.Here’s a better picture of the Chateau, plus Doug aboard the ferry (Doug + boats = happy guy).On the right, you can see the Funiculaire we’ll take from the lower city to the upper city.Rue de Cul-de-Sac, one of the oldest streets in North America, dating back to 1608We stopped in the 1608 Bar at the Chateau Frontenac before dinner. One Chardonnay, one Pinot Noir, plus tip = $53 USD. It’s a place you have to experience, if only once. 🙂Here we are outside Restaurant au Parmesan.There is so much to look at inside this bustling place that the last thing you want is a meal that’s rushed.Plus, there’s entertainment!The meal and ambiance lived up to the reviews, and we were able to take our time savoring every morsel, which did include dessert!Walking back to the Funiculaire, we stopped to watch the amusing antics of this street magician.Goodbye, Old Quebec
Loved the pictures and wonderful to see the one of you and Doug! Wh
