Quebec City is celebrating its 400th anniversary this year. The commercials all over tv should be enough to remind you by now.

Jen and I got the message, and went to the place where Quebec City really got it’s roots - Honfleur, France.

It was from this harbour that Samuel de Champlain made his many voyages across the Atlantic to found the posts that became Quebec City.

Now I have never been to Quebec City. It’s a place I want to visit terribly, but I got a pretty decent second place. Almost 400 years to.the.day that Champlain returned to this habour, Jen and I stood at the gatehouse of the Le Vieux Bassin and wished a bonne fetes a Quebec.
