WINTER FUN IN QUEBEC CITY

Presentation by Rudy Trebels

QUEBEC IS A LITTLE LIKE THE EUROPEAN COUNTRY NEXT DOOR, THE FRANCE

YOU CAN DRIVE TO IN LESS THAN A DAY FROM MANY

PARTS OF THE UNITED STATES.

IT’S DIFFERENT FROM ANYTHING JUST SOUTH, OR NORTH, OR

EAST, OR WEST OR ITS BORDERS.

QUEBECOIS

• The people who reside in this relatively laid-back part of the world — French, English, and newcomers from around the world — share an approach to life that is uniquely Quebecois.

LOCALS ARE WARM, INTRIGUING AND GRACIOUS

HOSTS.

THE FRENCH FACE OF QUEBEC

• From the magnificent architecture of the grand basilicas to the trendy terraces lining the hipper enclaves of Montreal’s Plateau district, the French face of Quebec is omnipresent, and one of the most charming elements of this destination.

QUEBEC CITY IS ONE OF THE FAVORITE HISTORIC DESTINATIONS

FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

EXPLORING THE CITY STREETS

• The narrow cobblestoned streets and stone architecture of the walled city, founded in 1608 by French explorer Samuel de Champlain, make it as romantic and European as it gets on this side of the pond.

• Add to that a proclivity for snowfall and an abundance of top-notch bars and restaurants, and you may wish the New Year could be postponed.

WINTER ENTHUSIASM

• Ice-skating, cross-country skiing, tobogganing– the Quebecois embrace winter with enthusiasm.

• It’s the best way to deal with the weather, since from mid-December until mid-April the province is covered in the snow and often bitterly cold.

• With much of the landscape blanketed in the white stuff for months at a time, its not surprising that Quebec has taken great pains to nurture its reputation as one of the top winter vacation destinations in North America.

WINTER SPORTS

• Fans of winter sports can revel in the thrilling adventures of dog sledding, ice fishing, and kite skiing on frozen lakes.

DON’T MISS CARNIVAL DE QUEBEC

CARNIVAL DE QUEBEC

The biggest winter carnival in the world takes place on the Plains of Abraham over three weekends from the end of

January to mid-February, with winter sports competitions, ice-sculpture contests, and parades.

BONHOMME SNOWMAN MASCOT

• With its Bonhomme snowman mascot, the festival has been running for 60 years, and doesn’t show any signs of slowing down.
