A propriedade — Gite à L'Abri Du Clocher
The Gite à L'Abri Du Clocher is a quiet three-star guesthouse in the old quarter of Quebec City, with a stone facade and a view of the basilica’s spire from the front step. The lobby feels like a neighbour’s front room – polished pine floors, a few armchairs, and the faint scent of woodsmoke from the hearth. It suits travellers who want to be inside the historic walls without the polished anonymity of a chain hotel.
Crónicas 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 architecture is a layered mix of French colonial, British military, and Victorian influences, with the fortified walls and narrow streets of the Vieux-Québec designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985. The city remains proudly francophone, and its cultural identity is built around preserving that heritage while hosting a lively festival scene and a sophisticated food culture.
