The Property — Auberge La Seigneurie
Auberge La Seigneurie sits on Île d’Orléans, a 20-minute drive from Quebec City’s old walls. The lobby smells of woodsmoke and beeswax, with a stone fireplace, exposed beams, and a stack of local guidebooks. It’s a quiet, country-inn feel: no spa, no fuss, just clean rooms, a solid restaurant, and easy access to cycling the island’s river roads. Best for couples or solo travellers who want rural calm without roughing it.
Chronicles of Quebec
Quebec City was founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain as a fur-trading post, making it one of North America’s oldest European settlements. Its Upper Town developed on the dramatic Cap Diamant cliff, while Lower Town grew along the St. Lawrence. The city’s fortifications, a UNESCO World Heritage site, were strengthened by the British after 1759. Today, Quebec’s identity blends 17th-century French architecture with a working port and a lively arts scene centred on festivals like the Summer Festival.
