An Autumn Morning At Montmorency Falls

One of the main reasons why I wanted to check out Quebec City is that I wanted to see the Montmorency Falls, which is the towering waterfall just outside the city. After an uneventful bus ride, I entered the park with the ticket I bought online. The Montmorency Falls is just a part of the overall park which loops around the waterfall. There are several activities at this park including ziplining across the waterfall, and a cable car between the top and bottom of the park itself.

The Views from Quebec City's Tallest Building

I went to L'Observatoire de la Capitale atop the Marie-Guyart building, which is the tallest building in Quebec City. This attraction offers a 360-degree view of the city and beyond, and I thought it would be worth checking out for an affordable $15 admission ticket (that you can only buy online). I went on a rainy and cloudy afternoon so I could not see far beyond the thickness of the clouds, but regardless, I would be seeing some spectacular views.

A Rainy Morning At La Citadelle de Québec

On one of the mornings while I was staying in Quebec City, I went for a tour of La Citadelle, which is a fortress that is sitting on the highest point of the city at Cap Diamant. I want to point out that this was not the first Citadel-style structure in Canada that I went to, as I also went to the Halifax Citadel last year. I was able to freely explore the Halifax Citadel at my own pace, but I would not have this luxury at La Citadelle, as La Citadelle de Quebec is still an active military base. I had to go on a guided tour of the fortress, which was fine with me.

Quebec's Museum of Civilization (And Another Titanic Exhibit)

I visited the Quebec Museum of Civilization in Quebec City (which already gives you a clue about where the next batch of travel posts are going to come from), and their premier exhibition going on at the time was a Titanic exhibition called "Titanic. The Human Story". I already went to a Titanic exhibition in Toronto back in August, but I was curious to see what things were the same in both exhibitions and what was different. I promise that this blog is not going to be a Titanic repository of items and experiences, but bear with me as I go through a second round of experiencing the fateful maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic, as well as check out the rest of the exhibits in the museum.

Mont-Tremblant: The Rest Of The Highlights

I have written my posts about going up to the summit to Mont-Tremblant, as well as experiencing Tonga Lumina. However, this is my post about the other things that were going on while staying at Mont-Tremblant. I stayed two nights at the 'Place St-Bernard' hotel in the middle of the Mont-Tremblant village.

Searching For The Giant At Tonga Lumina

One of the major summer attractions during my stay at Mont-Tremblant was the Tonga Lumina walk held every night at the mountain. Tonga Lumina is a walk that is self-described as a 'sensory experience', in which you walk down a path with various lighting and sound effects. Tickets are $27.99 plus tax for an adult.

Catching My Breath Atop The Summit Of Mont-Tremblant

Over the August long weekend, I had the privilege of staying a couple of nights at Mont-Tremblant in Quebec. Mont-Tremblant is a town in Quebec just north of Montreal, but its biggest attraction is the mountain overlooking the town, as well as the resort at the foot of the mountain. Most people know Mont-Tremblant for its skiing and other winter activities in the winter season, but the area is just as lively in the summer season. On one early morning, I used the gondola ticket that came with my hotel reservation and jetted myself up to the top of the mountain.
