Québec - Château Frontenac 
|
|
Built in 1894 for the Canadian Pacific Railway the majestic Château Frontenac, visible for miles around, is Québec's most famous landmark. The palatial hotel, standing on the site once occupied by Fort St-Louis, the governor's residence in colonial times, is named after the Comte de Frontenac, a French nobleman who was a leading figure in "la Nouvelle France".
From the moment the huge building was completed it became adopted as a fitting emblem for Québec City.
