History Summarized: Quebec's Architectural Memory

Ten years ago I visited Quebec City with my dad, this summer the two of us went back, and today I bring you the analytical fruits of a visit well spent. (Let it be known I did my best attempt at Quebecois, recalling pronunciation differences like Frontenac condensing to "Frotnak", but otherwise defaulting to Metropolitan French when I wasn't sure of local pronunciations. Alas, any attempt to "split the difference" between Quebecois and Metropolitan French will invariably result in utter disaster. For this, je suis désolé.) SOURCES & Further Reading: "Quebec: World Heritage City" by David Mendel and photography by Luc-Antoine Couturier "L'Histoire du Quebec en 30 Secondes" by Sabrina Moisan and Jean-Pierre Charland "The Chateau Frontenac in Québec City: The Social History of an Icon" by Anne-Marie Broudehoux, 2004, http://dalspace.library.dal.ca/bitstream/handle/10222/70812/vol29_3-4_51_62.pdf?sequence=1 Additionally, I visited Quebec city last month and took notes from the historic plaques and displays dotted across the Old City, City Walls, Citadelle, and interior of the Chateau Frontenac. I was able to spot-check a couple questions with a guide from the Cicerone Tours company. Special thanks to the man himself, Monsieur Samuel de Champlain, for showing my dad and I around the fortifications and Citadelle.
