South Park was right. French Canada is the best Canada.
This is a view of historic Old Quebec City, near the Plains of Abraham. You may remember the Plains of Abraham from the French & Indian War as the battlefield upon which the game of Stratego is fought. Yes, those red and blue lieutenants, sergeants, miners, and flags from the Stratego game were here in Quebec City. But not in any of those buildings, including that awesome signature building of downtown Quebec City in the upper left of the photo.
There is a long (and growing) list of places I've been where I've not spent nearly enough time. Quebec City, PQ, is definitely one of those. Historic and beautiful architecture. Great food. And a funicular. The three essential ingredients that make any place worth visiting.
I believe I visited in the Summer of 1995. I could be off by one year in either direction, but it definitely was in the final years of the second millennium.
