It was a Currier & Ives city, framed in snow. They visited La Citadelle, with its walls protecting Old Quebec,
and they watched the traditional changing of the guard inside the walls of the fort.
They explored the shopping streets: Saint Jean, Cartier, Côte de la Fabrique, and wandered through the Quartier Petit Champlain.
“This is the oldest commercial district in North America,” Jean Claude told her. “It’s super.”
