Gay Guide Québec
Quebec, named after its province, lies on Cap Diamant overlooking the St Lawrence River, and is the oldest city in Canada (409 years in 2017!). This historic part of Quebec is the birthplace of French-speaking settlements in North America, and its narrow winding lanes were declared a world heritage site by UNESCO. The amazing parliament building is particularly worth visiting. The annual Summer Festival brings together artists from all over the world to gather in the streets; despite often freezing temperatures the famous Carnival brings a flavour of Rio to Quebec in February. Magnificent parades and traditional competitions like canoe races make for crazy unforgettable events. The majority of the gay community is centred around St Jean Street in the Old Town, where in close proximity you can find everything the gay heart could wish for, as well as meet the locals.
