Québec, former capital of New France, features hundreds of historical markers, a unique architecture as well as French and British institutions that have survived to this day.

For this reason, Old Québec is the ideal UNESCO World Heritage destination to help history lovers connect the dots of North America’s history.

France, England and Spain claimed territories in the New World from the 1500s. In the wake of the Age of Enlightenment, English and Spanish colonies of North America won their independence and became the USA and México!

Nouvelle France faced a different destiny.

Through Franco-English conflicts and treaties, Louisiane was ceded to Spain, then back to France and purchased by the Americans. Thus, Cajuns and Creoles pursued their American dream.

However, French Acadie and Canada became British colonies. Despite this, Samuel de Champlain’s dream of a durable French presence goes on in the St. Lawrence Valley, cradle of Canada and heart of French-speaking America.

This tour will show you the most important parts of the Historic District of Old Quebec, which has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1985.
Starting with the first nations, we'll go through the history of the city with the arrival of the first French settlers, the creation of the Royal colony of New France, the emergence of Quebec City as capital of British North America, the creation of the Dominion of Canada, leading to the contemporary era.
