Quebec City, is it really a city?  Or actually is it a walk back in time?
“Kébec”, named after the Algonquin word meaning “where the river narrows”, is the second largest city in the province of Quebec, and as well is the province’s capital. The St. Lawrence River narrows as it enters the city, on the one side Levis, and on the other side, Cape Diamont. This is how the city came by its name. The St. Lawrence River is an integral part of Quebec history, both in merchant and battle. The city’s historical significance dates back to the early part of 1500’s, and is one of the oldest historical cities in North America. Jacques Cartier built the first settlement on site in 1535.
