    Quebec City / French Canada

    06070601

    97% of people in Quebec City are french canadians, which means almost of the people here speak not English but French. Quebec City consists of 3 parts of area, the area surrounded by walls above the cliff, the old town, Vieux Quebec/Old Quebec, located below the cliff, and the new city located in west side of the old town.

    ケベック・シティは人口の９７％をフランス系カナダ人で構成されている。つまり、公用語がフランス語であり、ほとんど英語が通じないという程である。ケベック・シティは大きく３つのエリアから構成され、「城壁に囲まれた崖上地区」、「崖下に位置する旧市街Vieux Quebec/Old Quebec」、そしてその西に姿を構える「近代的な新市街」から成る。

    Place Royale in Old Quebec. It is said that this very place is the birthplace of Quebec.

    旧市街にあるロワイヤル広場。ケベック・シティ発祥の地としてその名が刻まれている。

    Well well well! I see you have visited my birth place? Were you able to walk down Grande Alle? Tried out the night scenes?
    You must have tried the super famous Ashton's POUTINE! hahaha If you haven't, you have to go back to QUEBEC CITY!!!
    Hope you're having fun up there.

    Cheers Mate!

    First, Thank you for your comment! I had a long holiday last weekend, including CANADA DAY. That's why we have just visited your birth place, Quebec City.
    Of course I went Grande Alle, in which I had dinner in the night, taking pics and having pretty good time! But the only thing I regret is not having had the POUTINE. Sorry...Sach. Anyway I wish I could go again soon.
