That little "TRUST PRET ET REVENU" building in the 2nd picture has been vacant for quite some time... Hopefully, it gets brought back to life soon.

That must be a difficult property to develop. The only way I see it being developed is being turned into a lavish residential project. Like a mansion or a micro boutique hotel.

As was discussed in the Edmonton section recently, the Quarters is such an eyesore it hurts. There's a ton of potential there (the Hyatt hotel is a step in the right direction) but development is few and far between (partly thanks to the sheer amount of property owners sitting on empty lots with no plans to do anything).

Maybe if Alldritt goes ahead it could help spur some more development but thats a huge question mark as of now.

Let's hope so.

Yes Aldritt doing sole sampling last week. Looking very promising.

These buildings in the foreground look like they could be a penitentiary.

The one with the Blue roof is the Salvation army addiction centre. and the taller one with the red roof I believe is one of the Chinese Freemason Seniors apartments.

Nice. Damn you and your Feb springs.

Work days can be interesting.
I had to go to the old capital for the week. Spent most of my time in Québec's faubourgs, especially St-Sauveur, but also took the time to wander around the old city as it is the time of the Carnaval !

THE OLD CITY

Took half a day to go to the Carnaval.
It isn't what it used to be. And the "Bonhomme" castle wasn't very... ambitious this year.

It was more interesting (and interactive) at night, for sure.

1. HAUTE-VILLE (fortified city)

Édifice Price, Monseigneur-François-de-Laval monument and the catholic archidiocese building

Côte de la Montagne

Rue Saint-Jean, inside of the walls

Université Laval

At Saint-Jean and Garneau

At Couilland and Saint-Flavien

2. BASSE-VILLE

The Grand Séminaire as seen from Place Royale

Rue du Cul-de-Sac

Rue du Petit-Champlain

Rue Sous-le-Fort

Rue Saint-Pierre

Rue du Sault-au-Matelot

At the foot of Côte Dinan

Place de la Vivrière

THE "FAUBOURGS"
1. SAINT-JEAN-BAPTISTE

Rue Saint-Jean, outside of the walls

Rue Sainte-Claire

Rue de la Tourelle

A Martello tower, the number 4, is hidden in the confines of the neighbourhood. It was completed in 1812. In the middle of the street today, but built in the middle of nowhere 200 years ago. This tower is the last one of a line that starts at les Plaines d'Abraham.

Saint-Jean-Baptiste church

2. SAINT-ROCH

On the fringes of the neighbourhood...

The Escalier Lavigueur, a link between St-Jean-Baptiste and St-Roch

3. SAINT-SAUVEUR

Rue de Saint-Vallier O. and Saint-Ambroise

Saint-Vallier St. is the main artery of this area. One of the most interesting areas in Québec.

The narrow streets of Saint-Sauveur are lined with a variegated urban fabric. It's quite unpolished and pleasant.

Quebec City is always lovely under a blanket of snow.

Agreed, outside of ski resorts and natural environments QC always looks good in the winter. Still can't believe I've never been there, and Halifax...

It's beautiful at any season IMO, but I am biased, you're starting to know me. Everyone who visits, though, should really venture out of the walls in the faubourgs (St-So, St-Roch, SJB, Limoilou) and Vieux-Lévis. They would discover hours of interesting and not-so-polished streets to wander around...

FrAnKs · #**6779** Posted **Feb 7, 2018, 3:20 AM**

Magnifiques photos encore une fois !

Ça me rappelle que j'ai même pas encore pris une seule marche en hiver au Centre-ville

100% agree. Though I absolutely love the Old Québec City inside of the walls, it is ALOT more than just this ! I've had the honour of living on Bougainville Ave. for a couple of years and I've really appreciated it.
