This is Gare du Palais, the main (or central) train station you arrive at if you are visiting Quebec City by rail.
The fountain across from the train station. I saw some kids playing in the fountain in the late afternoon because it was so hot and humid.
This is a trompe l'oeil in Place-Royale. It looks like a real street with people in it, but is actually just a painting on a side wall of a building. I thought it was gorgeous!
An old-style building in Place-Royale.
A shop on Rue du Petit-Champlain. This is where you find many really interesting boutique stores.
A street scene on Rue Saint-Paul.
This is Place de la FAO, with its wonderful paver pattern that suggests water/waves, which is perhaps not surprising, because this is near the maritime museum. It really reminds me of the paving outside the Maritime Museum of Macau, which I had visited some years ago.
Rue du Sault-au-Matelot, another street with lots of lovely boutique stores. A shopper's paradise, I guess.
This is an écolobus, which runs on electricity (there is a sign on the side of the bus that says, "Je roule à l'électricité"). It's a free shuttle bus that goes around the city area. It can take about 20 people at a time. I consider it a great feature of the city.
Here's what the flag of Quebec looks like. I saw it all over Quebec City.
