Yeah ! That's what I've been dreaming of many times
Can you imagine how far Montréal skyline would have been visible !? (232m + 205m) !!
Our towers in Québec city are high, but not so much. But being on a 100m hill makes a huge difference actually !
Montréal : Towers base = +/- 10m + 205m (highest tower) = +/- 215m
Québec city : towers base = +/- 100m + 134m (highest tower) = +/-234m
Roughly has the same ''visibility'' as Montreal's, but not the same impact, because it's far less massive.
But anyway, in Québec city & area, our elevations are very different. Everything, except the area around Galeries de la capitale & Autoroute de la Capitale (A40), peaks at least at 100 meters : Upper-town Québec, Lévis, île d'Orléans and Western, northern & eastern suburbs.
