Join architectural historian and author David Mendel for a program based in the world-famous Château Frontenac hotel. Quebec is unlike any other city in North America; with its dramatic cliff-top location overlooking the St. Lawrence River, its fortifications, narrow winding streets and wealth of historic buildings spanning four centuries. Lectures at the Chateau Frontenac are brought to life with field trips encompassing both landmark sites and less heralded aspects of the city providing an in-depth exploration of Quebec’s historic district, opening doors to historic interiors that few visitors discover. Enjoy French cuisine and learn about Quebec’s architecture and the military, political and religious history of the town.

You will receive a copy David Mendel‘s richly illustrated book on Quebec City, which he will be happy to sign for you.

Program in association with Routes to Learning Canada.

Quebec City

The towers and turrets of Chateau Frontenac dominate the skyline of this 400-year-old walled city on the St. Lawrence River, the only fortified city north of Mexico. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage City, Canada’s oldest city is known and loved for its European charms and narrow, cobblestone streets lined with centuries-old homes.
