Mme Marielle Roy, the owner of Maison Du Fort has done an incredible job of creating a wonderful little inn experience for her guests when visiting Quebec. Her inn is exceedingly charming, as she is herself. Not a detail is missed, down to the battenburg lace shower curtain. If you like cats, request room 5, since the decor has a cat theme! Room 5 is spacious and cheery and has a lovely little sitting area by one of the windows. The bed was firm but not too firm, very comfortable. The mini breakfast consisting of delicious baked goods, juice and coffee/tea is served downstairs in the breakfast room, on top of a piano. Tres elegante!! She also is most generous with allowing guests to befriend her two cats, who are both also quite lovely. I will definitely go back someday! Maison Du Fort, as one would guess by it's name, is located on a quiet street very near the Citadelle, and within a couple blocks of the Fairmont's Chateau Frontenac, so essentially it is perfectly located.
As for Quebec itself, it's charming, beautiful, friendly to tourists, and full of history. But when you pack, remember that Quebec is pretty far north and pretty hilly, so bring a warm jacket, or a rain jacket, and some good walking shoes! Also, while there, be sure to visit the Lowes revolving restaurant to get a spectacular view of the entire city. It's beautiful!
