La propriété — Chez Roger l'Ermite
Chez Roger l'Ermite is a modest three-star set in a converted 19th-century stone house in Old Quebec. The lobby feels like a quiet, wood-panelled parlour with a working fireplace and a stack of local maps; the vibe is unpretentious and practical. It suits travellers who want a central base within walking distance of the Château Frontenac and the ramparts without paying for frills. Expect firm beds, efficient check-in, and a continental breakfast that leans on bread and jam rather than a cooked spread.
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 defensive walls—the only fortified city north of Mexico—were built and reinforced by the French and later the British after the 1759 Battle of the Plains of Abraham. The architecture in Old Quebec is a dense mix of 17th-century stone churches, 19th-century Victorian houses, and the copper-roofed Château Frontenac, a railway hotel from 1893. Today the city leans heavily on its UNESCO World Heritage status and French-language culture, balancing tourism with a working government and university population. The vibe is more 'earnest provincial capital' than 'theme park', which gives its narrow streets a lived-in feel even in July.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Quebec →Meilleurs mois
June and September: June brings long daylight and manageable crowds before the July spike; September has crisp air, fall colours starting, and most attractions still open.
Peak / Festival surge
July is peak, driven by the Summer Festival (July 4–14 in 2026) with outdoor concerts across the city. Hotel rates can double or more; Chez Roger l'Ermite will likely sell out weeks ahead. The Fête Nationale (June 24) also spikes demand.
La saison des épaules
May and October: May sees thaw and fewer tourists, with hotel discounts of 30–40% off July rates; October has autumn foliage and low season pricing before ski traffic begins.
Météo & Emballage
Quebec City's climate is continental, so July can be humid with highs above 30°C, but cold fronts can drop temperatures to 15°C overnight. Pack a waterproof jacket and at least one long-sleeve layer for evenings on the terrace.
Briefing de la ville — Quebec
- The Dufferin Terrace boardwalk in front of the Château Frontenac is partially closed for structural repairs through summer 2026; the lower promenade remains open, but views of the St. Lawrence from the upper level are blocked until at least September.
- RTC bus route 800 (the Express shuttle between the airport and Old Quebec) is suspended for 2026 due to driver shortages; visitors must use a taxi or rideshare, costing roughly CAD 35–40.
- The 2026 Quebec Summer Festival (July 4–14) will close several streets in the Latin Quarter and around the Plains of Abraham; check the official schedule for road closures and parade routes starting July 3.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Chez Roger l'Ermite, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the second or third floor facing away from 48e Avenue (the rear side of the building). These upper floors avoid street-level noise and benefit from less foot traffic near the entrance.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor or directly above the main entrance. Ground-floor rooms are more exposed to noise from the lobby and street; rooms facing the front risk traffic noise from 48e Avenue.
Best views
Rooms at the rear of the hotel overlook the quieter residential area and possibly the Rivière Boule green strip. Front rooms face 48e Avenue, a secondary road but still carrying local traffic.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are the quietest – away from street activity and with no lift noise (if present, the lift tends to be busiest on ground and first floors).
🔊 Noise notes
48e Avenue is a local road in a residential zone, so noise is moderate – occasional cars and delivery trucks. The hotel's entrance and any outdoor seating area (if present) could generate chatter. No major nightlife nearby.
Insider tips
1. If you're driving, ask about parking on arrival – the address suggests limited on-site spaces, so they may direct you to free street parking on side streets. 2. Request a room at check-in for the rear side: they may accommodate if you mention noise concerns, and you'll get a quieter night.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Principales attractions à Quebec
💡 Come at dusk for the free sound-and-light show on the square's buildings (projected on walls, May–October, starts at 9:00 PM).
💡 Visit on a free Sunday but get there by 10:00—queue forms fast. The permanent First Peoples exhibition is top-notch.
💡 Skip the main tourist drag on Rue Saint-Jean—cut into the side alleys like Rue des Jardins for quieter spots and cheaper cafes.
💡 Go early morning to avoid crowds and see the mist over the St. Lawrence. Free guided tours run in summer but you need to book online.
💡 Take the 800 bus from downtown (€3.50) instead of a tour. Walk down the staircase on the east side—less crowded and better photos. Free to enter the park.
