Québec, Le Petit Champlain, Canada



What a beautiful street view of Québec's lovely Le Petit Champlain district. Here it is beautifully decorated for the Christmas Season. I believe the picture is taken from the Breakneck Steps, Québec's oldest stairway, built in 1635. The neighbourhood is named after Samuel de Champlain, the founder of the city.
