BEAUPORT BAY
A true oasis 5 minutes from downtown, the Bay of Beauport is a must in Quebec. The ideal place to escape every day, it offers a unique panorama with its beach and its breathtaking view of the St. Lawrence.
In addition to a wide range of water activities including swimming (when conditions permit), paddle boarding and kitesurfing, the Beauport Bay is home to a sailing school and a summer camp. Activities are numerous with its soccer fields, petanque, water games and “food truck”!

The Marginal Way Therapy
One of our favorite summer getaway is Ogunquit, Maine. We have our routines. Breakfast at Amore with Leanne, some beach, good books and twice a day, a nice walk on the Marginal Way.
During summer 2011, my wife and I woke up early and we went to Perkins’ Cove for the sunrise which was quite promising. I took my 360° gear out of the trunk for a ride on the Marginal Way. We finally end up with more then 10 spherical panoramas of this amazing trail sculptured by time.
If an image worth a thousand words, this tour of the Marginal Way is… speachless! Enough words… Enjoy the Marginal Way Therapy.
The Cavalier-du-moulin Park
In 1663, Simon Denys of La Trinité built a mill on a rocky mound called Mount Carmel, on the site of the present Cavalier-du-Moulin park. In 1693, this mill is integrated into a defensive work called Cavalier. By bringing the line of fortifications back to the west in 1755, the rider lost his mill and strategic value at the same time.

A nice view of the port, waiting for the tall ships.
I create my first panorama from this nice terrace, well… years ago. It’s one of my favorite spot no matter the season. In a few weeks, the port will be invaded by tall ships.
To mark the 400th anniversary of Quebec historian Marcel Trudel says without Pierre-Dugua-de-Mons, the founding of the city would have been impossible.
Another Promising Event in Quebec City
On December 22, 2016, the Fédération International de Ski officially announces that the final of the World Cup of cross-country skiing to be held initially in Tyumen in Russia will be held in Quebec City. In less than two months, the Gestev team has done an amazing job. As usual, the people of Quebec City quickly responded to the call for volunteers. Everything had to be done, from waxing rooms, to the communication infrastructure, to the athletes’ village. The people of Gestev who have an extensive experience in the field of winter sports activities, along with all the volunteers and Sponsors, are delivering an exceptional event.
The event will take place on the Plains of Abraham, where cross-country skier Alex Harvey, the world champion, will be the star of the event in his home town.
The snow conditions are extraordinary since it has fallen for 2 days, more than 50 cm of new snow. Competitors from all over the world were so happy to be able to ski on “real” snow.

One of the best location to view Québec
This small park is the glacis of the Citadelle of Quebec, on the north side and extends to Saint-Denis street.
One of the best places to capture both the fortifications, Dufferin Terrace, Old Quebec and Chateau Frontenac which is visible from almost everywhere.
Back for another year, the market, which celebrates Germany’s long-standing tradition, comes alive with typical wooden kiosks and scintillating lights.
The Parc de la Chute-Montmorency Quebec is a tourist center situated on the outskirts of Quebec City and Boischatel, Canada.
