| Summary: | Alive with celebration for the Festival d'Été, the streets of Quebec City are filled in the summer with colorful clowns, comic street jugglers and talented artists. Men in traditional red and blue uniforms re-enact a famous 1769 battle on the Plains of Abraham. Everyone is involved in the festivities - the very young are enraptured by flying acrobats while older people parade around with painted faces. Once inside Quebec City's imposing stone walls, an important history lesson is learned through its original architecture - every single building, including the most photographed hotel in the world, Château Frontenac, is preserved to respect the city's rich heritage. Viewers will totally appreciate this special glimpse of European life in North America. |
