| Quebec City, the capital o the province of Quebec, is located at
the mouth of the St Lawrence , where it widens into the Gulf of St
Lawrence. The Quebec City metropolitan area has a population of 671,000
though the city itself has 167,000 residents. Quebec City is the only
fortified city in North America, and was the cradle of French civilization
in North America. The port was the gateway to the interior for ocean-going
ships up until the mid-19th century; primarily for exports of fur
and later lumber. The city has expanded and modernized, but has chosen
to maintain and restore the Old Town, both along the River and up
near the Citadel (the Old City is now a UNESCO world heritage site).
The city has lots of recreational avenues for its residents. The
Plains of Abraham Park and historical monument, at the site of the
1759 battle, is now one of the continent's largest urban parks,
enjoyed by all. To the east of the city is the 83 metre Montmorency
Falls (30 metres more than Niagara Falls) which can be seen close-up
by a cable car. Residents also enjoy the annual Quebec City Winter
Carnival, the celebration of winter in this northern city. |
