Morning
Start your day at Château Frontenac for a breathtaking view of the St Lawrence River, Basse-Ville, Vieux-Port and Ile d’Orléans in the distance. Immediately beside the hotel runs Terrasse-Dufferin (see Les Glissades de la Terrasse-Dufferin), a boardwalk clinging to the rock escarpment complete with ornate Parisian-style street lamps. After taking in the exhilarating surroundings, stroll through the Jardins des Gouverneurs and look for monuments to Wolfe and Montcalm, generals in the Battle of the Plains of Abraham (see Moments in History).
Go back along Terrasse-Dufferin to Quartier Petit-Champlain, the oldest merchant district in North America, with a dazzling variety of boutiques and souvenir shops.
Enjoy a mouthwatering seafood lunch at Le Marie-Clarisse (see Le Marie-Clarisse).
Afternoon
If you want to stretch your legs after lunch, follow the natural flow of the land to the waterfront, head left along rue Dalhousie and the Vieux-Port and turn left at rue St-André. Here you’ll find the delights of Marché du Vieux-Port, where you could easily spend the rest of the afternoon, sampling the local treats.
For an early evening drink, there is no better spot to finish your tour than the Aviatic Club bar/restaurant in the elegant train station (450 rue de la Gare-du-Palais • Map K4).
