My wife and I were there a few years ago. It was the year before the attack in Ottawa which we also visited at that time. We really loved the people there. It's hard to believe that any Canadian could do such a thing.

Agreed, I think Quebec City's old town area is one of the world's most underrated places.

I had visited Quebec City's old town (the "Old City") with my father a few years ago during the 400th anniversary of the founding the city. It is a lovely place to visit and we both had a great time. I'm planning on visiting again this year, on my way to visit my sister and my nephews (they live in the province of Quebec, but further east).
