Old Quebec City Funicular Lift to the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac Hotel
This video was filmed in the historic town square area of old Quebec City, Quebec. The Old Quebec Funicular railway lift transports people from the lower Old Quebec neighborhood, shops and town square (called Place Royale), with the upper town area near the amazing Fairmont Le Château Frontenac Hotel. Near the hotel is a long and wide wooden boardwalk that offers a great vista of not only the harbor and Old Quebec below, but also the Hotel. Most people are taking selfies in front of the hotel or asking others to take their picture because it’s such a dramatic backdrop. This whole 3 square mile Old Quebec area feels like you’re in Europe and it’s so beautiful. If you haven’t been here then I’d highly recommend adding it to your bucket list!

Recorded October 1, 2016
Old Québec is a historic neighbourhood of Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Comprising the Upper Town and Lower Town, the area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
From:
Quebec Old City Canada
Quebec City is the capital city of the Canadian province of Quebec. The city had a population estimate of 531,902 on July 2016.
The narrowing of the Saint Lawrence River proximate to the city's promontory, Cap-Diamant (Cape Diamond), and Lévis, on the opposite bank, provided the name given to the city, Kébec, an Algonquin word meaning where the river narrows.
Founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain, Quebec City is one of the oldest cities in North America. The ramparts surrounding Old Quebec (Vieux-Québec) are the only fortified city walls remaining in the Americas north of Mexico, and were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985 as the 'Historic District of Old Québec'.
The city's landmarks include the Château Frontenac, a hotel which dominates the skyline, and La Citadelle, an intact fortress that forms the centrepiece of the ramparts surrounding the old city. The National Assembly of Quebec (provincial legislature), the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (National Museum of Fine Arts of Quebec), and the Musée de la civilisation (Museum of Civilization) are found within or near Vieux-Québec.
