... Pretty views with the Château Frontenac a famous landmark located on a cliff within the walls of Old Québec... a historic hotel that dominates the city skyline... this luxurious hotel perched atop Cape Diamond since the late 19th century was designed to convey prestige in keeping with its Old Québec surroundings... historic events have taken place in the building, and famous people have stayed there... the Plains of Abraham (Battlefields Park) in Quebec City is a beloved urban park... a vast, green escape in the heart of the city, providing a peaceful retreat with excellent views of the river and surrounding area... it includes the Joan of Arc Garden, the Citadelle, the Martello Towers, an old jail, nature trails, parks, playing fields and a bandstand for summer concerts... the park welcomes over four million visitors each year and offers year round activities for the whole family... Thanks a lot dear Andrene! (✿◠‿◠) (Just before I heard about the strike, I sent a few cards to Canada... I hope they will arrive safely🤞)

The Plains of Abraham, located in Quebec City is Canada's first national historic park and often called "Canada's birthplace" due to its connection to the 1759 Battle of the Plains of Abraham. This battle between the British and French forces led to a major turning point in Canadian history, with the British victory ultimately determining the future of Canada. The Plains of Abraham are part of the larger Battlefields Park, a national historic park created in 1908 to commemorate this battle and preserve the historic site.
Quebec City is one of the oldest cities in North America. Old Quebec is a historic neighbourhood of Quebec City founded by the French explorer Samuel Champlain in 1608. Champlain explored the St. Lawrence River and continued to the Great Lakes region. He governed New France (the Quebec province) until his death and considered the Father of this area.
Old Quebec is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.
