The Walk of the Sea at Rimouski.
Rimouski is one of my favourite towns in Quebec. It is located in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region, at the mouth of the Rimouski River. It has a population of 48,664 (as of 2016). It is the home of some ocean sciences research centres. The city was founded by Sir René Lepage de Ste-Claire in 1696.

del centro di Montreal mi piace la buona armonia tra edifici vecchi e moderni, tra elementi europei (inglesi e francesi) e nordamericani

Petit-Champlain Street
Quebec City, Quebec
Canada
Rue du Petit-Champlain (English: Petit-Champlain Street) is a street in the Canadian city of Quebec City, Quebec. It is located in the Petit Champlain commercial district, at the foot of Cap Diamant, and contains many boutique shops. Quartier du Petit Champlain is claimed to be the oldest commercial district in North America. It is named for Samuel de Champlain, who founded Quebec City in 1608.
Rue du Petit-Champlain is around 0.16 miles (0.26 km) long, and runs from its convergence with Rue Sous-le-Fort in the north to Boulevard Champlain in the south. A popular viewing point of the street, the Breakneck Stairs (or Breakneck Steps), are located at the northern end of the street.
Just beyond the steps is the lower entrance of the Funiculaire du Vieux-Québec, an electric cableway established in 1879. It takes passengers up and down Cap Diamant to and from Dufferin Terrace, beside the Château Frontenac. It climbs at a 45-degree angle, covering a total distance of 64 metres (210 ft).
Around halfway along the street, on its western side, is Parc Félix-Leclerc.
The western side of the street contains frontages of buildings, in the shadow of Cap Diamant to their rears, whereas the rears of the buildings facing Boulevard Champlain occupy the eastern side.
A fresco painted on the side of the building at number 102 is a trompe-l'œil measuring 100m2 (900 ft2). It represents the history of the district, the bombardments of 1759, the landslides, and the fires which have occurred in the district.
Château Frontenac and its ramparts loom over historic Québec City, Québec, Canada. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the oldest and best preserved settlements of the new world in North America first settled by Jacques Cartier on October 11th, 1535.

Looking back at 2017, one of my favorite chases besides shooting the Pickens in South Carolina was our trip to Quebec to follow the Central Maine & Quebec. It was really neat to see the Bangor & Aroostook "Heritage" SD40-2F 9017 barn leading train number one across former CP Sherbrooke Sub.

Westbound L57321-23 exits the tunnel west of La Tuque on the former NTR route through Northern Quebec. Head on into the setting sun towards Hervey-Jct.
One of the things I like about Quebec City is the beautiful old buildings that dominate the section they call the Old City and I think it is a shame that the flair of building structures with a strong sense of style that has been lost in modern times.
