    There's a choice of a simple 2 minute walk down halfway through wooden stairs to the wooden…read moreswinging bridge or a few minutes going down more steep wooden stairs to walk over jagged rocks to the falls during low tide where we saw people fishing. We first weren't going to walk over uneven rock's all the way to the falls because it was getting late, but my boys were way ahead and wouldn't stop when we yelled for them to return, so we ended up following them and I'm glad we did. When I arrived around the corner, there were 3 more falls behind the tall rock formation, hidden in a nook so maybe you can see if from the right side of the bridge or the wooden walk, but you can't take a great panoramic picture of all of at once. It was spectacular to see different waterfall formations altogether up close. However, be careful because some parts can be slippery and you need a lot of balance to walk on the rocks. A friend of mine scraped his leg tripping over the rocks, so going to the bridge may be a better option for those who can't make the trip to the falls. People also fish near the falls and saw huge fish in a bucket. There 's a lot of free parking at the waterfall area, a concession stand that sells icecream, slushies and drinks that close at 7pm (that barely spoke english, so i'm glad i had my son to help order in french) and a restroom before going to the falls.

    We visited the falls on an excursion with our cruise. Overall it is worth the visit. The falls…read moreare stunningly beautiful, especially if you are up for walking, the entire circle, up the stairs and through the woods back to the manor house. Gorgeous. However, given that this is a "natural attraction" I was very disappointed that the otherwise lovely boardwalk was infested with many invasive species, like Japanese Knotweed. I think when making nature the focus of an attraction, it should be protected better than seems to be the case, at least along the boardwalk. Also of note .. you can easily take the funicular down and up to avoid much walking if need be. Clean facilities at the bottom and top.

    Visited the Plaines d'Abraham on a cold February afternoon and it truly felt like stepping into a…read morewinter postcard. The park was peaceful and quiet, with a few brave souls out cross‑country skiing and practicing their downhill skills--such a classic Québec winter scene. We took the stairs down toward the river, and the view from the top was absolutely worth it. The St. Lawrence River looks stunning framed by all that snow and open sky. For anyone interested in the historical side of the Plains, it's probably best to return once the snow has melted so you can explore the grounds more fully. But for a serene winter walk and beautiful scenery, this place is magical.

There are two ways to get to Pierre-Dugua-De Mons Terrace. The first is to walk across Dufferin Terrace to the end of the wooden slide runs. The second is to walk up from Avenue Saint-Denis. Any photo you take at the terrace, no matter the season or the time of day, would be as pretty as a postcard. Go for a stroll along the walls of the Citadel located next to the terrace. The view here encompasses many of Quebec's famous sites: On the left, there is the eminent Chateau Frontenac, a luxury hotel built to attract visitors from around the world; in the center, there is the historic Quebec old town, a UNESCO world heritage site; and on the right is the St Lawrence river, dominating the landscape and dotted with the occasional cruise ship to bring people from far-flung lands into the city.

Québecois Félix Leclerc: Guitarist, singer, revitalizer of the chanson (Quebec folk song), and passionate nationalist is remembered through this little oasis in the heart of Old Quebec City. The park seems, perhaps not coincidentally, like a small concert venue. There are two raised areas -- one in front of a few large stone steps right off of Rue du Petit Champlain, the second inside the park -- which both make the perfect stage for a small group of musicians. Not only does the significant tree cover and steep cliffs in the background make for a visually stunning park, it also makes for a great echo that allows the sound of buskers to reverberate around the surrounding area. It's also surprisingly tranquil (being that it's right off of Rue du Petit Champlain). There are plenty of benches, bench-swings, and Adirondack chairs to sit back, relax, and enjoy the space. It's well kept with flowers and plants that -- at the time of my visit in June -- were in their lushest, most beautiful state. A unique feature of this Old Quebec Heritage Site is Le souffle de l'Île (The Breath of the Island"), an aluminum sculpture, found at the back of the park, perched on part of the cliff. Part of the inscription is from LeClerc: FRAGILE ET DURABLE COMME UN PARFUM MA CHANSON D'AMOUR POUR LES TEMPS À VENIR S'APPELLERA VAGUE DE LA MER, MOISSON, MUSIQUE, BLEU DE NUIT. FRAGILE AND SUSTAINABLE AS A FRAGRANCE MY SONG OF LOVE FOR THE TIMES TO COME WAVE OF THE SEA, HARVEST, MUSIC, BLUE NIGHT. What a perfect park in a perfect city!
