 La Vieille Maison des Jesuites
in Sillery, Quebec by Jefie, 2 more photos
A new house was built in 1730 and after the English conquest in 1760, it was rented out to British colonists who came to Quebec City. One of its most famous residents was British writer Frances Brooke, who wrote the novel "The History of Emily Montague" (1769), the first English novel set in Canada.
In 1929, the historical value of the house was officially recognized by the Government of Quebec and steps were taken to turn the place into a history museum. Today, the Maison houses different historical exhibitions and activities, including a permanent exhibition on the history of the house and the Sillery mission which includes many artefacts dating back to several hundred years ago. On wednesday evenings in summer, the Maison also offers free outdoor folk and world music concerts. Leave a Comment

 Tabagon Run in front of the
Chateau Frontenac! by jamiesno
For just a couple of dollars Canadian you get a tabagon, you get to drag it up a large hill and you get the rush of riding it back down.
I can only imagine what the wind chill would be coming down but people certainly seemed to be having a blast doing it.
By clicking on the link I have provided you can see the video I took of this activity. You will need Real Player from www.real.com to view the video :-) Leave a Comment

 La Fontaine de Tourny, in
Quebec City by JefieLeave a Comment

| | |
As we walked from the Place d’Armes to the Arsenal, we ‘discovered’ this large Celtic cross all by ourselves – none of our guidebooks or the tour guide had mentioned it. I suspect that the date 2000 at the top indicates its recent erection and (goodness knows), maybe nobody else had noticed it before!
It is impressive though, and the base engraved with the text in French, English and Gaelic is certainly intended to ensure the message is comprehensible. It is a ‘thank you’ message from the people of Ireland to the people of Québec, for their support and assistance during the Irish famine of the 19th century. Although I took photos, I was less thorough in recording the location, but working backward from the map and from where we were heading at the time I am fairly confident that it was in rue Charlevoix, near de la Hotel-Dieu. The photos show the text in all three languages. Address: rue Charlevoix ?

 Grand Allee by Dabs
The Festival d'Ete (Summer Festival) was going on while we were here and the street was jammed with people, we stopped for a few minutes to watch a man & woman inside a fish tank "bar" promoting some brand of beer (not very effective advertising when you can't remember the product) before making our way back inside the city walls.
The Grande Allee is one of Quebec City's oldest streets, it was the route people took from outlying areas to sell their furs. The mansions, now restaurants and B&Bs, are from the 19th century when the wealthy lived here. Leave a Comment Directions: Outside the city wall, runs east-west just to the north of the Citadel and Plains of Abraham

 Casault Pavilion on the
Universite Laval campus by Jefie,
2 more photos
A cross-country trail runs across the campus, and all visitors have access to the campus golf driving range (418-656-5000 for more info). All year long, Laval's Rouge et Or sports team perform at the PEPS (www.peps.ulaval.ca for schedule and ticket info) and victories are often celebrated at Le Pub (www.cadeul.ulaval.ca/pub). Finally, visitors often like to take a walk in the underground walkways that connect the 30 campus buildings in a 10 km network decorated with student graffitis. A really great attraction during winter! Leave a Comment Address: Universite LavalPhone: 418-656-3333Directions: In the Sainte-Foy area.Website: www.ulaval.ca Other Contact: accueil@dap.ulaval.ca
