Keen to learn about the history of the city, we set out on a guided tour realising at the end of the day that it was more of a seduction tour than anything else. We were left with the thoughts of spending a day more at at the city.. I will come back but not alone this time..
The romance in this city can be felt in the air one breathes. No doubt, it is said to have been the scene of first French Kiss on this continent.
And ya btw.. hindi movie bewafa was shot in Quebec city.
Champlain christened the city as KEBEC which means place where river becomes narrow, and thats how Quebec gets its name.
Pont de quebec and Pont Pierre- laporteproclaimed as national historic site, Pont de quebec is the longest cantilever bridge in the world. apparently the cental span collapsed twice during construction.

During the time of Louis XIV, the square was originally used by traders for fur trading. It was in ruins untill restored in 1992, and the Statue of Louis XIV was erectecd in the centre in his honour. Its more of a tourist attraction now.

Quebec city is a great place for art lovers. the wall painting above depicts Quebec and its history. It has been given a breathtaking 3 dimensional effect. However, it took just three weeks to paint it, casue the painting was fist projected on the wall and then it was painted.
The musicians arcoss streets add a charm to the city, fusing in romance in the air. I did miss being without my love here.
