The Citadelle of Quebec (The Changing Of The Guard)

The Citadelle of Quebec (The Changing Of The Guard)

Everyday at 10am, from June 24th to the first Monday of September, the changing of the guard takes place on the Citadelle's parade grounds. The ceremony marks the arrival of new sentries to relieve those on duty at the Garrison.

A BRIEF HISTORY: The Changing of the Guard has been a tradition at the Citadelle of Québec since 1928, except for a brief hiatus between 1939 and 1945. The ceremony features soldiers of the Royal Régiment decked out in their scarlet regimental dress and bearskins as the "new guard" relieves the "old guard" after 24 hours of sentry duty at the Citadelle's entrance. It is based on the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace and is the only such ceremony in the province—a must-see experience for visitors to Quebec's capital!

Montmorency Falls

Montmorency Falls

At 83 m (272.3') high, a full 30 m (98.4') taller than Niagara Falls, the Montmorency Falls are as spectacular a sight in the summer as in the winter. They are located in a park of the same name only 15 minutes from Old Québec. This is one destination you will not want to miss, as it is where the St. Lawrence River stretches out not far from the base of the cliffs. During your visit, you get to choose between wonder and adventure. Take a cable car to the top of the cliff to admire the falls from a unique vantage point. The view is breathtaking, even in the winter! Cross the suspended bridge to the belvedere, where you can feel the power of the river as it thunders past. For the daredevil in you, follow one of the three via ferrata routes up the cliff, or zoom over the plunge pool on the double zipline 300 m (984') in the air. You can also learn about the site's fascinating history at the interpretation centre. In the summer, you can have a picnic at the historical orchard and test your endurance by climbing the 487 steps of the panoramic staircase. Tourists with a fine palate will appreciate one of the best brunches in the region, served at the Montmorency Manor.
