Québec City


Quebec City is one of the most appealing tourist destinations in North America and certainly worth a visit during the conference (see www.ville.quebec.qc.ca). Old Quebec is, in fact, a UNESCO World Heritage treasure and one of the oldest walled cities north of Mexico. The city boasts over 400 years of history, which can be explored on foot.
