The Property — L'Auberge La P'tite Verte
A converted Victorian townhouse on a leafy side street, L’Auberge La P’tite Verte feels more like a friendly guesthouse than a standard hotel. The lobby is small and low-key, with creaky wooden floors and a communal vibe that suits couples, solo travellers, and budget-conscious visitors who value character over amenities. Its USP is the included cooked breakfast and free bike hire, making it a practical base for exploring Old Québec on two wheels.
Chronicles of Quebec
Founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain as a fur-trading post, Québec City is one of North America’s oldest European settlements. Its fortified core, Vieux-Québec, retains a grid of narrow cobblestone streets and 17th- and 18th-century stone buildings, earning it a UNESCO World Heritage designation. The city’s skyline is dominated by the Château Frontenac, a grand railway hotel that opened in 1893 and symbolises the region’s French heritage. Today, Québec City blends its colonial past with a lively arts scene, French-language culture, and a strong emphasis on local cuisine and winter festivals.
