The St. Laurent river.

Frozen solid!

An ice rink in the centre, also frozen solid.

A gate of the city walls.

Requisite ice sculptures for the winter festival.

Old town!

These streets seem pretty genuine.

A view from the top of the walls down to the newer area of the port.

Looking along thw walls.

The big building in the background is apparently the most photographed hotel in the world!

Those cannons aren't much use any more.

In their day, they did good defensive work!

I guess you could just smother any invaders in snow.

Looking down on the old town.

Plenty of churches, as you'd expect.

That happy chap is the Carnaval mascot.

Nat and Kate just after we arrived.

Sitting on a cannon!

Giddy up!

A Christmas shop. In February...

On three sides, the walls are mostly natural.

They did build one or two roads up them, thankfully.

The hills can be a bit slippery with ice.

A roof poking above the wall.
