Highlights

Montcalm and Saint-Jean-Baptiste are, along with Parliament Hill, the Upper Town districts starting on the western part of the Old Town fortifications. Historically, Saint-Jean Baptiste was a popular district, and Montcalm was privileged by the elite. Many features of the past still linger, but these days, both districts are bustling urban neighborhoods where all kinds of people mingle. In the past few years, Montcalm has rebranded itself the District of the Arts (Quartier des arts) and Saint-Jean Baptiste attracted many new small and independent businesses, including a few trendy fashion stores, a great pub with craft beers, and an amazing coffee house. This visit will give you the pulse on urban life in Quebec, and will show you the rich architectural, social, and cultural heritage of two districts that leaves no one indifferent!

About Quebec City

Quebec City is a French-speaking walled city above the St Lawrence River, with cobbled lanes, a grand hilltop château and a historic old town.

Quebec City stands on a cliff above the St Lawrence River, and its old town, a UNESCO-listed warren of stone houses, church spires and steep cobbled streets, is the only walled city north of Mexico. Samuel de Champlain founded a settlement here in 1608, and the Château Frontenac, a copper-roofed grand hotel, dominates the skyline above Dufferin Terrace.

Top-ranked sights in Quebec City: Old Quebec (Vieux-Québec), Quebec Royal Square (Place-Royale), Petit Champlain District (Quartier Petit Champlain).
