We had some gorgeous weather in Québec City, but yesterday’s rainfall easily matched the wettest winter day in Vancouver. Glad to have an umbrella, I nonetheless escaped from the rain long enough for return visits to the Cathedral-Basilica of Notre-Dame de Québec (Our Lady of Quebec City) and La Boutique de Noël de Québec. #unesco #unescoworldheritage #christmas #VieuxQuébec #vieuxquebec #quebec #quebeccity #explorequebec #canada #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travel #christmas #noel Europe?

Grands Feux Loto-Québec is an impressive fireworks show launched mid-point of the St. Lawrence River, and directly outside my home for the next few days, the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac. This locale is home to six nights of similar shows between late July and late August. #fireworks #quebec #grandsfeux #grandsfeuxlotoquebec #quebec #quebeccity #explorequebec #fairmonthotel #fairmontlechateaufrontenac #chateaufrontenac #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport Now, that’s amore!
