Le Basse Ville.

8-18-10 QUEBEC CITY, CANADA: We had breakfast outside near the hotel and then walked around le basse ville, the old town, Judy hit the shops, I took pix. After an outside lunch, we did more of the old town and eventually climbed back up to the upper town and the hotel. It’s a significant hike up and down. There is a funicular, but we feel morally obligated to climb after all the eating.

Le Basse Ville.

There are street shows, music, acrobats, break dancers, jugglers, singers, performing outside the hotel from morning until mid-evening, usually with a big crowd. The end of each show is ‘put money in the hat time’.


Break Dancers. Can you find a familiar face in the crowd?

Dinner was outside back in le basse ville at a great seafood place. While we ate a tour group went by every few minutes. After dinner there was another chance to climb the hill and catch an evening show.

Bon Soir, Le Basse Ville.
