From Quebec old town to the town of Levis ferry stopped at the edge of the south bank of the St. Lawrence River. Its wharf is very obvious. I took the camera to take pictures, the beauty of the old city of Quebec are trying to gather in the photo. When I turned, he met a lovely old man, he pointed to the ferry said to me, where you can illuminate different Quebec old town. So, we spent $ 7 per person to buy a round-trip ticket, take on the ferry.

Old Quebec, and Château Frontenac castle overlooking the St. Lawrence Seaway, Wolf climbed the embankment with his army to the Plains of Abraham, and he defeated Montcalm, a battle which changed the destiny of Canada.
