As they explore Old Quebec on foot, your participants can soak up its distinctly European atmosphere and admire, among other things:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-list\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Historic fortifications, including Saint-Jean Gate;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The beautiful buildings of Place Royale;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The famous Ch\u00e2teau Frontenac;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The lively Petit-Champlain district;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dufferin Terrace, with its spectacular view of the St. Lawrence River.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many shops, restaurants, and institutions contribute to the vibrancy of this historic district. However, it is the warm welcome of Quebecers that is sure to charm you. Quebec City is a place where hospitality is part of the city\u2019s character, not only as a tourist destination, but also through the values embodied by the people who live and work in the area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-group\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"item wysiwyg component-heading\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Easy to reach, no matter where you\u2019re coming from!<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Organizing a retreat also means considering how accessible the destination is for participants. Quebec City is easy to reach whether you\u2019re travelling from elsewhere in the province, another Canadian city, or abroad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Old Quebec is approximately 25 minutes by car or taxi from Qu\u00e9bec City Jean-Lesage International Airport (YQB). Quebec City is also accessible by train or coach, particularly from Montreal. Gare du Palais is even within walking distance of Old Quebec.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traveling by car is also an option.

It is an ideal season to include a walk, an outdoor activity, or a relaxing moment outside in your schedule.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Early fall, meanwhile, offers spectacular scenery. If you are lucky, you will be able to admire the magnificent orange, yellow, and red hues of the region\u2019s trees, which usually appear from late September to mid-October.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Winter creates an atmosphere that naturally invites introspection. Snow transforms the city and makes you want to retreat indoors and take the time to watch the snowflakes fall. Those looking for fresh air will feel invigorated by an outing outdoors. A perfect opportunity to play in the snow and let yourself be charmed by the magic of winter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, during spring, the snow melts, the trees come back to life, and sap begins to flow again. Your visit to Quebec City might coincide with maple season and give you the opportunity to taste traditional maple taffy on snow.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column
