    Quebec City was perhaps the most beautiful and romantic city that I have ever visited. Its upper section called Haute-Ville was by far the most alluring. It was generally quiet compared to the touristy Basse-Ville. I was spellbound wandering along the narrow, hilly streets filled with interesting shops and delicious restaurants. Chateau Frontenac is the jewel of this area. It is the most photographed hotel in the world, and I don't wonder why. My camera kept snapping pictures of it, as if it had a mind of its own. A must-see for anyone!
