PARTNERS
		The MUSÉE du FORT Since 1965, the Musée du Fort has presented a sound and light show on the military history of Québec City. The show tells the story of the six sieges of Québec City including the famous battle of the Plains of Abraham and Benedict Arnold's march to Québec. Through an impressive 400 ft sq. model of Québec City and its outlying regions in 1750, you can fully appreciate the strategic importance of this historic city. Dominique, Evan and the Price family also own Le Chic Shack restaurant and Auberge St-Antoine, the only Relais-Chateaux hotel in Québec City.
		MICHEL Born in Quebec City, genealogy and local history led Michel to the fascinating story of the French, British and Spanish who shaped North America, Canada and Québec. He had not realized until he became a tour guide in 2014 that speaking, working, being brought up or just living in French in America, for up to 14 generations, was very special. How come Quebec City is still 95% French after being conquered by the British 2 decades before the American Independence? Why haven't French Canadians been assimilated over time or why aren't they Americans? What is the old and more recent history behind? Discovering his French heritage and sharing it with visitors from all over the world has been really rewarding to him. And a big source of pride!
