Full of quaint homes, stone walls & history.. I recently had the opportunity to spend a long weekend in Quebec City with a good friend of mine and her family.  It's a gorgeous city to explore, a perfect size to walk around with lots of great views to take in along the way.  It was a pretty laid-back getaway weekend, so i'll just show you a couple of my highlights.. {Montmorency Falls} {Old Quebec City} {Chateau Frontenac} I hope this inspires you to enjoy a trip to Old Quebec City!
