116.0. "Quebec info needed...." by UPOVAX::BECKER () Thu Sep 22 1988 10:39

    Hello!  My parents are planning a weekend in Quebec in October.
    I was wondering if anyone could recommend any particular sights,
    and/or good restaurants in Quebec.  Any info would be greatly
    appreciated.
    
    Regards.

116.1Stay in Old Quebec!!KAOA05::FREREEric Frere @KAO DTN 621-2184Thu Sep 22 1988 13:568
    I assume that you mean Quebec CITY.  If they are only staying a
    weekend, I recommend that they stay at the Chateau Frontenac and
    spend the weekend discovering Old Quebec, the Plains of Abraham
    and take the ride down to "lower" Quebec.  There are numerous nice
    little restaurants in Old Quebec where it would be difficult NOT
    to find something suitable.

116.2I vote the same as .1KAOM25::TOMKINSThis MIND left blank INTENTIONALLYFri Sep 23 1988 11:243
    	A quick visit to your local AAA or CAA office would land you
    with a tour/accomadation/sights book and maps. Old Quebec is a must
    stay place.
116.3Hope you mean Q-CityTRCA03::KEHOERon KehoeSat Sep 24 1988 11:417
    I was in Quebec City during the last week of August on holidays.
    I can say that your people will love it there. If they want to stay
    at the Chateau it will cost about $150 - $500/night. There are alot
    of other great places to stay for much less within a few hundred
    meters of the chateau. I'll see if I can dig up the info.

116.4Boston to Quebec CityKNINE::MACKENZIEChris, DTN: 296-4787, UPO1-2Thu Apr 20 1989 15:158
    Can anyone give me some idea how far Quebec City is from the Boston
    Area?  (Hours driving and mileage?)
    
    Also, what about the best routes to take.
    
    Thanks!

116.5Have a good tripMQOFS::DESROSIERSLets procrastinate....tomorrowFri Apr 21 1989 11:079
    Distance about 400 miles, best route: up US93, then US91, then 55,
    then 20 (east) to Qu�bec.
    
    A nice hotel that is near the "old" Qu�bec and close to Les Plaines
    is the LOEWS le CONCORDE (418) 647-2222 about $75 per night (cad)

116.6Thanks!KNINE::MACKENZIEChris, DTN: 296-4787, UPO1-2Fri Apr 21 1989 13:268
    Jean,
    
    Thanks for the mileage information!  We're staying at the Chateau 
    Frontenac and I'm really looking forward to it.  It was advertised 
    in the Boston Globe newspaper at $65 (U.S. dollars) a night.  Seemed 
    like a good deal to me and we've never been to Quebec City.

116.7Which Way is Better?RICHID::HARNETTThu Dec 28 1989 09:4915
    
    	Hello,
    
    	Hopefully someone can clarify something for me...  I'm heading
    	up to Mont St. Anne this weekend and the directions we received
    	from the tourist office was to go US95, to 201N then 20 into
    	Quebec City????
    
    	Is US93 to US 91 to 55 and 20 a better route from MASS?
    
    	Also, any suggestions on where to go for New Year's Eve would
    	be appreciated...
    
    	Thanks,
    	Rich

    Weather = rain but not yet snow, high 10�C, low 0�C
    
    Great time to see the Fall foliage!
