  The epic stairs

I went to the Montmorency forest to see the waterfall and trees. The vew was incredible.

84 meters of waterfall, 30m higher than Niagara falls

 

Here is the Notre Dame cathedral located in old Québec. I thought it was much lighter than french churches were it’s always very gothic and dark.

I also went to Orléans Island, famous for the high number of orchards and the activity of apple picking.

Frontenac Castle

After all the paperwork done, I had the opportunity to visit the city a bit. I went to the Old Quebec were I saw the famous Frontenac Castle with the pretty terrace and a wonderfull view of the St-Laurent River.

The neighborhood is very lively, full of performers, little shops and cafés. I walked uphill to the plains of Abraham and the view was fantastic ( thanks for the perfect weather ! )

I stumbled by chance on a Festival, based on autochtone culture.
There was music, shops, traditions explained, and… Poutine !

First Poutine !

 

 

Then I did a tour of the campus with other students. This University is huge, and you can find a maze of tunnels underneath used in the winter time.
