 Bonjour Quebec  -  from a floral springtime to a snowy winter
Whatever the season, Québec always offers a feast for the senses! Each season has its moments of splendour and its moments of languor. Spring is a time of flowers, autumn of fiery colours; summer is a lush season of green, and winter a blanket of white.

 Quebec City  -  capital city of Quebec
Québec City is centered in an area where the river narrows before opening into an estuary. The city's rocky high point, Cape Diamond, towers 103 meters above the river, adding to the unique flavor of the area. The plain is fed by a number of smaller rivers, including the Saint-Charles, which lazily winds its way down toward the St. Lawrence. The old city is divided into two parts, Upper and Lower Town..
Québec City is both the cradle of French civilization in North America and a major economic center.

Cuisine - Canadian cooking

The first inhabitants of Québec - for the most part peasants - prepared hearty meals to help them face the harshness of everyday life. A style of home cooking, based on the French tradition, developed over the centuries and featured local fish, game, fruits and vegetables. Tourtière, cipaille (a layered meat pie), baked beans, roast pork, cretons (a kind of pork pâté), sugar pie and buckwheat cakes are just a few examples of these traditional dishes. Some remain everyday fare, while others are served on special occasions, such as Christmas and during the holiday season. In the spring, these rustic dishes are served with pleasure at Québec's sugar shacks.
