Ready to go see what Quebec City has to offer, first a
picture of Château des Tourelles (Castle
of Turrets), where I am staying. To begin I’m heading to Parc des Champs-de-Bataille,
The site of many clashes for
supremacy between the French and British Empires, the park is the scene of
the 1759 Conquest, which changed the fate of North America. Apart from its
historical past, the park is to Québec what Hyde Park is to London: a city park
of outstanding value, the lungs of the city. One hundred and three hectares of
meadow and grassy knolls, decked with flowers. Here are a few pics which include
the Mortello tower overlooking the St Lawrence river. One picture is looking up from the shoreline to the tower. To get down to the shore it was about a
400 yard wooden staircase the went almost straight down and the steps were so
narrow I had to duck walk down just to keep my big feet on the step…found a few
muscles in my thighs I hadn’t used in a while!
