The Manege Militaire, or Quebec City Armouries was a drill hall for the infantry regiment Les Voltigeurs de Québec. It was destroyed in a fire April 5, 2008.
A view of Montmorency Falls from the stairs.
The 467 stairs to the top of Monmorency Falls are built precariously up the side of a steep slope and it can be a little frightening to look down, but it's well worth the climb.
The Montmorency Falls are the highest waterfalls in Canada. To get to the top, one can take the gondola, or climb the 467 stairs straight up the side of the hill. We chose the stairs.
The island is filled with little roadside cafes and stands like this one in Sainte-Famille, selling jams, pie, ice cream, produce, and maple syrup.
Each town had its own church and adjacent cemetery. This one, in the town of Saint-Jean, was right on the beach.
Typical colonial architecture on Ile d'Orleans, this was one of the oldest buildings on the island, built in 1734.
We stumbled across this hidden beach behind a church on Ile d'Orleans on the St. Lawrence River where I surprisingly collected seashells.
