This is the last shot from my “Return on Route 132” series a beautiful off the beaten track road which you can follow all the way from the Gaspe region to Quebec City and beyond this shot of the Château Frontenac was taken from a park on the Levis side of the river on our way through as quickly as possible due to the large outbreak of the virus at the time.
The Château Frontenac was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1893 and was soon followed by other Grand Railway Hotels in other major destinations coast to coast, railways may have lost their former grandeur but the luxury chain Fairmont has acquired and runs all these Grand Dames, testaments to days gone by.
The building itself is a chateauesque design that stands 80m high with 18 floors containing 611 guestrooms with 8 executive suites named for the world leaders that occupied them at one time or another and is the most recognizable architecture in the city.
I took this on Sept 23, 2020 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300 Lens at 170mm 1/100 sec f/8 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO

This is one from the archives. I pulled it up tonight and fiddled with it a bit to unwind after work.
Le Château Frontenac est un célèbre hôtel de Québec situé dans le Vieux-Québec surplombant le fleuve Saint-Laurent depuis la terrasse Dufferin. Inauguré en 1893, il a été désigné lieu historique national du Canada en 1981.
While looking back at images from a wonderful trip at Christmas to old Quebec City a few years ago, I found this sentimental image that brings back great memories.
The old buildings have seen many changes in the types of ships that have docked along their shores over the years.
Quebec, Canada. Secondhand side, stamped November, 1964. I don't know if the tall building is still there but the ones in the foreground appear in street view.
