My husband and I escaped from the traditional turkey/cranberry/shopping week-end this year and headed way north to Quebec City, Canada to enjoy the old-city and its magical winter traditions. Living winter outside is big here and Christmas marks the beginning of “plein air” festival season. We walked for hours each day into the evening in gentle snow showers, stopping for hot chocolate or a cappuccino, while I photographed outdoor decorations in as many parts of the city that my knees and hips would carry me. I wanted to share them with you to perhaps inspire your own decorations this season. Enjoy!
The outdoor German Christmas Market….
Historic cathedral square…

Hi jane, Love you photos of Quebec. Now, I want to go!!! Did you drive or fly? If the former, how long is the drive? Where did you stay? And did you love your accomodations? Best, Assiah

Love your wonderful photos…Quebec feels like Europe but a lot easier to get to. Wishing you all the best in this New Year, Jane. 🙂
Thanks a lot Karen. And to you as well!!! Ox
Wow! I’ve been to Quebec City before but, not in the winter. I think we’ll have to take a trip north when we are allowed to travel again. Those window boxes were especially beautiful and so creative. Thanks for sharing with us and hope your 2021 is a wonderful year!
Definitely visit in the winter! Well worth the trip. Thanks for commenting!
