QUÉBEC CITY
Québec City, the only walled city in North America, is a city so beautiful that it was declared an official historical monument by the United Nations. Québec's many churches, old stone houses, and crooked cobblestone streets give it the charm of an old European city. It lies at the point where the St. Charles River flows into the St. Lawrence River and its name comes from an Algonquian word meaning the river narrows here. Historical sights like the Citadel and the Château Frontenac are part of the culture of the city.
