We are now taking you to the lower
town of Quebec, le quartier St. Roch. This neighourbood,15 years
ago, was saved by concerned and organized citizens from decrepitude.
It has since been revitalized. This is the real center of Quebec and
the only place you get the real flavor of modern Quebec. And
where you can practice your French. 90% of tourists never see this
fascinating area. ElectricCanadian brings it to you.
St.Joseph street ,the main commercial artery in the Lower Town. Once
almost abandoned than covered with a very ugly roof, it is now
restored to its original splendour. Here you find unique and quality
shops without the absurd prices of the tourist area in the Upper
Town.
This is the central library where you can spend a rainy day and
never get bored.
In the core of the city, the gorgeous St. Roch park, the ambitious
project which launched the restoration process.
Quebec has over 100 km. of paved bicycle paths which take you past
the central Market. Families can get lodging and food at half the
price they could find in the upper tourist core.
