Quebec city is still one of favorite tourist destinations in Canada. Americans too are visiting today as they did back then.
Video is another great piece of history from Travel Film Archive.
grew up there. spent 30 out of 53 years there. I just celebrated the new year at Place Dufferin inside the Chateau Frontenac with my mother. We had the famous afternoon tea service with scones and the tower of snacks. The decor inside and the view from the large windows was magnificent. An old lady was playing jazz versions of old pop songs on the piano very well. Everyone was dressed elegantly and was beautiful. So even though it's an expensive proposition, it's worth it at least once to share with your loved ones.
This is my hometown I live in quebec kudos 👋👋👋
Qubec City is soooo beautiful I've been there. Tres enchanteeeee
Merci
Le Québec est un pays magnifique , et oui j ai bien dit PAYS
Nice video !!!
c'est dommage qu'elle ne soit pas libre (elle et toute sa province)
I LOVE Quebec City
Why did you cut the recording all of a sudden while the commentator was talking.
You have obviously cut this archive document short.
Montréal et Québec, mes deux villes préférées au monde! My two favorites cities in the world! Que de charme et de beauté: Le mouvement, le changement, la distraction, la nouveauté en constante mutation qu'est Montréal! Le calme serein, la beauté ancienne de Québec! Ces deux villes ont bien entendu leurs défauts, mais je ne saurais m'éloigner longtemps de mes chéries :)
In a world dominated by the English language, Québec may be better off within Canada where official bilingualism ensures some degree of the French language is promoted to three oceans and over the northern half of the continent. Long live Québec, long live Canada. May the friendship and respect continue.
Comme disait une de mes tantes en entendant ces champs "On veut etre libre", Ces maudits fous, on a toujours été libre ici !
Oui! C’est tellement vrai!
Having known Quebec for the better part of my life, I can tell you that most of the commentary doesn't match the sites depicted.
in what way?
@@Game_Hero I've never seen this video before, and so am baffled as to how that commentary got attached to it.
On the other hand, at around the 3:40 mark, the commentator is talking about lac St-Joseph while the beach at l'Anse-Aux-Foulons is being shown, which is on the St-Lawrence river, below Sillery.
@@zootsootful you probably forgot
The farmer is spraying some nice DDT on his crops at 3:05
At that time the farmers used it since it was the only known insecticide.
Today we use more organic products
@zensorship :D thx men ^^ and i hope someday Quebec will be a Country ^^ ( im Quebecois) im so prouf of oru story ^^
It is one wonders thinks of Canada..there is more in AL BC.. And never will.
@hypersite YES ! un jour un jour ^^
Quebec is my favorite country and they have the best national anthem 🤫🙄😙
Ah yes, Quebec. Its a country unto itself. And to every self respecting Canadian born citizen, it SHOULD BE its own country!
My Canada disincludes Quebec! (oh and for those frenchies over there, its said "kweh-beck". Otherwise the monarch in England would be known as the "k-een")
The thing is it's not "Quebec" in french, it's "Québec", thus is said "kay-beck". After all, a french-speaking nation deserves to pronounce it's name in it's own language, don't you think?
The proper pronunciation of Quebec is Kaybeck! Because of British influence, there is a tendency to use the word queen as a template for the use of the first three letters so that the in most quarters of Canada the word becomes "Qwhebec". The initial "ue" sounds like the first three letters of "when". In Quebec, especially in Montreal French speakers are often heard trying to mimic the Anglo pronunciation but their version becomes more often than not "Qweebec"
To be fair, it’s an Algonquin word first. I don’t know how they pronounce it. Merci tout de même!
@@Myself23512 Québec (Kaybec) means Narrow river in algonquin language.
@Line Frenette Very interesting, thank you.
Naaah. It’s Kwee-bec just like he said it.
That's not the way most Quebeckers see it.
How do we see it? Honest Question
actually Americas means everything. America means USA
québec a été un pays maintenant une simple province on n'a jamais signé la constitution canadian y"a 2 capital in canada une a québec une principal en ontario mais québec a toujour été francais et anglais et nous resteront une nation billingue 4ever et oui on n'a su se démarquer par nos innovation Québec power ECONOMIC
wow the fake native danse is so shameful lol and the outfit of the girls.
What makes you say it’s fake? I have been to Wendaki (their village neighborhing us) and this looks very similar
Montreal is even better.
"By some 7th century sailors"?
I was thinking the same thing 🤣 what is he talking about 🤣
It's the cradle of North American civilization actually
Yeah, Indians didn't exist right?
@@joaovilaca1436 which ones?
@@Loagun aztecs, pueblos, haidas, iroquois, mik'maq, sioux, massachussets, mississippians, algonquins, salish, hurons-wendats and countless others.
@@Game_Hero North American generally means euro North American. The indigenous peoples have their own civilization.
Don't forget the MUCH older Indigenous population AND the much older Spanish settlements. Dominican Republic has been settled since 1496, and St Augustine in Florida has been settled since 1565. Quebec was settled by Europeans in 1604.
