Show detail Hide detail

This film follows the visit of a couple of tourists to introduce the viewer to the interesting sights in Quebec City. The visit begins with a view of the city from the deck of a ship. The first leg of the tour takes the visitors to Dufferin Terrace, with it's excellent view of the city and St. Lawrence River below; nearby are a statue of Champlain and a monument to Generals Wolfe and Montcalm; prominent sights here are the Place d'Armes and the Court House. The next leg of the tour through Quebec City takes place in a calèche, a type of horse-drawn carriage unique to the city. Among the places shown are: Rue St. Louis and the South African Monument; the St. Louis Gate and the Grande Allée; the Provincial Parliament Buildings; the Plains of Abraham, now transformed into National Battlefield Park; Wolfe's Monument and cannons which line the parapet; Spencer Wood, former home of Canada's Governor-Generals, now residence of the Lieutenant Governor of the Province; the City Hall and the Basilica; the Seminary, Laval University and the Cardinal's Palace. In Lower Town, the driver takes the visitors through Sous-le-Cap to little Champlain Street and Cul-de-Sac. The final sight to be seen when visiting Quebec City is the nearby Montmorency Falls, shown in long shot. The film ends with a shot of the setting sun behind the city, as seen from a ship's deck. <9mn 32s>

1. 1927 OMPB Catalogue description: Quebec, the most historic city on the continent lends itself splendidly to picturization. Perched on the side of a precipitous rock the quaint, rambling streets leading up to the crowning citadel give it an old world aspect found nowhere else in America.~2. This film should not be confused with the Filmcraft film of the same title, see IDC 244225. Although similar in content and approach, the films use different footage and were produced separately.~3.
