La propriété — 28-29
28-29 is a compact, design-led three-star on Rue Sainte-Ursule, inside a converted 19th-century townhouse. The lobby feels like a quiet, curated living room: exposed stone walls, a wood-burning fireplace, and a small honesty bar. It suits independent travellers who want Old Quebec character without the frills — think exposed brick, not turndown chocolates.
Chroniques de Quebec
Quebec City was founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain as a fur-trading post, making it one of the oldest European settlements in North America. Its fortified Upper Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, grew around the Château Frontenac and the Citadelle, while the Lower Town developed along the river for commerce. The city’s architecture blends French colonial, British Georgian, and Quebecois vernacular styles. Today, it balances a robust tourism economy with a strong local identity, known for its winter carnival, poutine, and vibrant French-language culture.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Quebec →Meilleurs mois
June and September offer warm days, low humidity, and manageable crowds — ideal for walking the old city without the July-August crush. Late May also works for fewer tourists and blooming gardens.
Peak / Festival surge
July and August are peak season, driven by summer festivals like the Festival d'été de Québec (early July). Hotel prices in the old town can double from shoulder rates; book many months ahead.
La saison des épaules
Late September to October is the best budget shoulder: summer crowds thin, autumn foliage peaks, and room rates drop by 30–40%. May is also good, though some attractions open late in the month.
Météo & Emballage
Quebec City has a humid continental climate with sharp temperature swings — June can hit 30°C by day then drop to 10°C at night. Pack a layering system: a light waterproof jacket and a sweater, plus comfortable walking shoes for the steep, cobbled streets.
