French Heart. Quebec City is deeply French in culture and language, with most people speaking French as their first language. The city celebrates its unique Francophone heritage through food, festivals, and traditions.

Capital City. As the capital of Quebec province, it's the seat of the National Assembly of Quebec and home to important government buildings. It's the second-largest city in the province after Montreal.

Living History. The city blends 400 years of history with modern life, and many buildings and streets look much like they did centuries ago. Walking through the Old City feels like stepping back in time.
