Introduction
One of Canada's most historic cities, and the proud capital of the mostly French province of Quebec, Quebec City offers visitors both the feel of old Europe and the history of New France. Founded in 1608, Quebec City is the only fortified city in North America and proud defender of the Francophone culture and language in Canada. Quebec will celebrate its 400 years in 2008[1]. A visit to the Plains of Abraham[2], scene of a famous battle in the seven years war, and Vieux-Québec (Old Québec), a UNESCO World Heritage travel destination and the only fortified city in North America, provides the traveller with 400 years of history to discover.
