Best Luxury Hotels In Quebec

This province’s Francophone heritage sets it apart from the vast majority of the continent on which it’s found. Indeed, French is the primary language here, with much of the population bilingual. Known for strong connections to the arts, this is the region that brought us Cirque du Soleil and Céline Dion. Québec City, first founded in 1608 on the Saint Lawrence River, holds much of its French-colonial history. With a fortified core, it’s the only walled city in North America and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Now it’s augmented by chic boutiques, lively cafes and restaurants, making it an even bigger draw for tourists soaking up the European ambience.
