Quebec City is the capital of the Canadian province of Quebec and is located within the Capitale-Nationale region. It is the second largest city in the province, after Montreal. Quebec City is about 233 kilometres away from Montreal.
The birthplace of French civilization in North America, Québec City turns 400 this year(2008). It all started July 3, 1608, for the French-speaking people of the Americas. When Samuel de Champlain decided to settle in Kébec, “where the river narrows,” little did he suspect that it would mark the beginning of the great transatlantic French adventure. All previous colonization attempts had failed.
The St. Lawrence river is the history witness of the Quebec City.
