You step off the coach onto cobblestones that still remember horse hooves; wind from the St. Lawrence teases the edge of the cliffs while the guide outlines the route in English and French. The morning moves like a short story—a guided loop through Quebec City's fortified old town, a stop where Chateau Frontenac towers above the river, then a quick transfer to Montmorency Falls, where spray and sound take over.
