Over the St. Lawrence River stands the cliffside ramparts of North America's only fortress city. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, its 400 years of French history are honored at the Place Royale with exhibits and historical reenactors; costumed fun goes even further at the Fêtes de la Nouvelle-France festival, a five-day event that transports the whole town back to the 17 th century— town criers, musicians, maple drinks, and all. Even longer is the world's largest winter celebration, the 17-day Quebec Winter Carnival, but come summer, the Citadelle's Changing of the Guard is where you want to be. The city captivates, yet further afield are sights you won't want to miss. Take, for instance, the 83-foot Montmorency Falls and its winter "sugar loaf" frozen spray; views along the Plains of Abraham and Chemin du Roy; and on the way to Charlevoix, the Laurentian Mountains and Canadian Shield, the most ancient rock formation in the world.
