Quebec City is often referred to as one of the most beautiful, unique and colourful cities in North America. And rightly so. The City is living history. Declared World Heritage City by UNESCO in 1985, this 400 years old city is the cradle of the French civilization in North America. Quebec City offers a unique blend of French and British history, culture and architecture.

Looking down on the majestuous St-Lawrence River and the historical Isle of Orleans and surrounded by the beautiful Laurentian Mountains, Quebec City is well known for its museums, architecture, shopping, excellent restaurants, splendid parks and very safe night life. A paradise for outdoor activities, Quebec City is also a modern and dynamic city with one of the best economic and population growth rate in Canada.
