Gay Quebec City

With its narrow cobblestone streets, old city walls, and friendly gay scene, Quebec City seems to include everything for a magical trip. As soon as you arrive in the charming quarter known as "Old Quebec," you'll see this city, founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain, is like no place else in North America. The friendly locals speak predominantly French, but in tourist areas and gay bars and restaurants you'll manage with English.
No matter what the season, there are always special events taking place in Quebec City. The summertime Festival d'Eté de Québec takes place in July, and winter’s Carnaval de Quebec, happens in January and February. For the gay community, the Fête Arc-en-ciel, known in English as the Rainbow Festival, takes place in September.
