We arrived in Quebec early afternoon for our 3-night stay at the stunning Fairmont Le Château Frontenac. Château Frontenac, one of Canada's grand railway hotels, is situated at an elevation of 54 m (177 ft). It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1980. An interesting fact is that the Château Frontenac is the most photographed hotel in the world.

Quartier Petit Champlain.
This luxurious lobby invitingly welcomes you to be their guest.
The fresh flowers were so beautifully arranged in a table layout of one large and several smaller vases, a set-up not commonly seen in hotels in the States.
This evening we dined at Aux Anciens Canadiens Restaurant, the oldest restaurant in Quebec. It was a very short walk from the hotel.
We were offered several choices of local dishes including salmon and shrimp in pastry, Meatball ragout Grand-mere and Lac St Jean meat pie made with wild meats of the area. We had fun sharing our dinners and trying all the meals. Our dinner was topped off with a local speciality dessert - Maple Syrup Pie which had the consistency and sweetness of Pecan Pie.
