Bonjour Québec City!

Nice pictures! I always like seeing Quebec City on here.

Where is the Quebec YMCA located?

Thank you!

The YMCA was once located here in the Upper Town : https://www.google.com/maps/@46.8125...7i13312!8i6656
It will now move here in the Lower Town in a brand new building : https://www.google.com/maps/@46.8137...7i13312!8i6656

Interesting. I walked right next to the old YMCA a couple years ago, but didn't know it. But that was probably because it was shrouded in construction stuff.

Where did you take #46 from?

Yes, during the construction they have made a temporary pedestrian tunnel to protect peds from falling objects, so you probably did not see the building.

#46 was taken from up there : https://www.google.com/maps/@46.8088...7i13312!8i6656

An area that looks interesting to me, at least from looking at Google street view, is the Saint-Jean-Baptiste area. https://goo.gl/maps/m8RUzPoSjgrZnuN79 Dropped pin

Interesting tour, thanks! I didn't realize Quebec City was surrounded by high hills.

Yes indeed! This is the city's densest neighbourhood :)

Yes absolutely! Not very big mountains such as the Rockies, but still decently sized hills between 1000 and 4000ft. just off the city.

Thanks!:cheers:

I love all the grey stone. It's a feature really unique to the cities of the Province of Quebec.

Really that much? I bet in most places you will rather see brown bricks?

Great tour of a beautiful city!
