We were still away in Quebec, but had travelled to Quebec City. D was on vacation for our time in Montreal but had to work remotely in Quebec City.

Our new Home Exchange location was absolutely fabulous. This was the view to the north, with the hills (mountains?) in the distance.

Our third story walk up was accessible from the fire escape. We didn’t know that the loft did not have an elevator. It was a lot of stairs, especially for D who had to keep moving our car rental on the crowded streets.

We were smack in the middle of the Montcalm area. The neighbourhood is known for their vibrant arts and foodie district, located just a short walk away from the Plains of Abraham. This Michelin Restaurant was just around the corner.

We did our food (and liquor) shopping just a short walk away on Cartier Ave. These giant iconic street lights feature artwork from local Quebec artists that lit up at night and added colour during the day.

This was the interior of one of the many beautiful shops along the street.

We did dine out but not that first evening, We loved the concrete island and Jen-air stove in our loft.

We love to cook with unusual local ingredients, so we were all set.

We snuggled up for the evening just as the sun was setting.
