Summer seems to have happened everywhere in the country now! This is such a great time of the year, everything changes so fast.
The last 2 weeks have been incredible in Quebec City too. Warm weather, the leaves in the trees (though roughly 2 weeks late), the tulips (on time) and now the lilacs and the iris(irises?) (1 week late though).
Anyway, the weekend was great and I decided to head out on a 21km "urban" hike.
Here are some pictures of the
Rivière Saint-Charles linear park and
Chauveau park. This is a 32km path network along the shores of St-Charles river, in the middle of
Quebec City. It starts on the docks, in Old Quebec, and ends at lake St-Charles, in the north end of the city, and goes through the centre of the Huron-Wendat community of Wendake (see the picture with the small white chapel).
Chauveau park is a major natural area in the middle of the city, between the neighbourhoods of Neufchâtel and Lebourgneuf, and is reachable by the linear park. It's definitely one of my fave spots in QCC. On warm summer days, hundreds of people head there and enjoy the shores and waters of the St-Charles.
