Steve, if I’ve got just one day to see Quebec City, and I don’t know much French at all, what should I make sure to see/do/eat/photograph?
People in Quebec City most definately speak French, so it helps to know a little bit of the language; however, some of the folks (especially in the tourist areas) speak English as well. You want to see the Chateau Frontenac (a huge hotel) and boardwalk; the Citadel (the old fort just outside the city) and walk around the stone wall that encircles the Old City. Alan and I ate at “Aux Anciens Canadiens” which is rated as one of the most authentic French-Canadian restaurants in Quebec. The food is excellent. The boardwalk in front of the Chateau Frontenac is a great place to photograph the hotel, the St. Lawrence River, and the old city.
