I just got back from a conference in Quebec City and I can say without a doubt, it is the most beautiful city I've ever been to. The people were friendly, the food was great and I'm pretty sure my thighs have never had a better workout! Lots of steep inclines, people. LOTS.
I had to stay at this dump....what a hardship...
I was re-reading the book on my trip and it was great to put her words into a real life setting. She did an amazing job describing the city.
I found something quilty in an antique store that I had to bring home with me. I'll share pictures of it once I spend a little more time looking at it.
Off to do some sewing. I'm surprised at how much I missed doing that while I was gone.
Have a great day!

The Chateau Frontenac was everything I thought it would be. My room was quite "bijoux" but our meetings were set up in one of the larger suites. Both were lovely, regardless of size.
Unfortunately, I forgot to take my camera (duh!) so I only have a handful of pictures I took on my phone. I am a big Louise Penny fan so I made a point of going to the Literary & Historical Society that she used as the main setting for her book "Bury Your Dead". Can't you just picture Armand and Henri here:

Hubby and I were in Quebec City two years ago, and I totally agree with you......it's fantastic! Beautiful, clean, friendly, yummy and a totally walkable city, so you don't miss a thing! We'll definitely go back! We rented a flat in the old section, but we wandered the halls of the grand hotel Frontenac.....gorgeous! We loved everything about that city.....and next time, we're going in winter for the festival! :o)
