Old Quebec, the only walled city on the continent north of Mexico, still retains its old French charm and atmosphere. A guided city tour will be provided this morning followed by a tour of the Ile-de’-Orlean. This quaint island in the St. Lawrence Seaway is made up of old parish towns built around churches that date back several centuries. The Norman-style homes are a special delight. Stops will also be made at Montmorency Falls, which plunges 274 feet into the St. Lawrence, plus St. Anne de Beaupre, a world famous shrine that attracts over a million pilgrims a year. Dinner this evening will be in Old Quebec at Cafe De Paris. D
