It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the Americas,
and the one that still feels closest to its roots.
Some people refer to it as the “most European city in North America.”

Québec City draws its name from the Algonquin word kebek: “where the river narrows.”
The Saint Lawrence River is pinched together here by the promontory (headlands) of the Cap-Diamant (Cape Diamond) and by the city of Levis, then split in two by Ile d'Orleans. French explorer Jacques Cartier attempted the first European settlements in this area in 1535 and again in 1541. Samuel de Champlain finally planted the seed that took permanent root in 1608.

The “Old City,” or Vieux-Quebec, is rich with 400-year old buildings, narrow cobblestone streets, and blend of old French and English history and culture. It is home to the only fortified city walls in the Americas outside of Mexico, and a colonial-era citadel is still manned by Canadian soldiers on the heights. The iconic Chateau Frontenac stands at the top of the city as perhaps the most photographed hotel in the world. UNESCO has declared Old Québec to be a World Heritage Site.

CNN Travel - Is this the most European city in North America?

퀘벡에 놀러간 아들에게 꼭 먹어보라고 강추했던 '푸틴'이 
캐나다 총리의 인터뷰에 유럽과 아메리카 대륙의 Fusion의 대표적 사례로 언급되었습니다.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,
who was mostly educated in nearby Montreal, recommended Quebec City
in an interview in the summer of 2017
as the ideal starting point for foreigners given the city's hybrid visual and cultural appeal.

But direct comparisons to Europe might be unfair.
In truth, Quebec City and the greater, French-speaking province of which
it is a part are so much more than a new copy of the Old World.
It's a unique and likable fusion of two intersecting continents.

Take poutine (pronounced "poo-teen"),
for instance -- the area's greatest culinary gift to the world.

Made of french fries topped with beef gravy and cheese curds,
the French would have never invented it.
But thanks to the North American way of throwing out the rules, cooks in Quebec thankfully did.
And like others on the continent they call home, the Québécois deliciously serve it in large portions.
