| Quebec City, a Four Season Destination (Video) |
|
| Old Québec, a UNESCO world heritage treasure, is alive with history.
See for yourself with a visit to the Fortifications of Québec and the Citadel, the city's two main defensive works.
Moving from military history to religious history, take in the stunning Notre-Dame-de-Québec Basilica-Cathedral, the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, the Jesuits Chapel, and St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church.
After stopping off at one of the city's many museums and interpretation centers, take a walking tour or a horse-drawn carriage ride to get a true feel for this unique historic district.
Fine dining and shopping are an art form in Old Québec, particularly along rue Saint-Jean and rue Saint-Louis, where European charm adds a dash of flair to any outing. |

| Corporation of Lower Saint-Lawrence Pilots (CLSLP) |
|
| The pilots of the Corporation of Lower Saint Lawrence Pilots play a crucial role in the safety of maritime transportation on the Saint Lawrence River between Les Escoumins and Quebec City, as well as on the Saguenay River. Moreover, they are fully acquainted with the dangers inherent to this majestic and very important river: its shoals, its currents and its difficult navigating conditions, making their expertise essential for guiding any ship that transits the river.
The Corporation administers its own education and training program to persons looking to become a pilot using, among other things, an ultramodern navigation simulator. |
