Books & Guides
The first Mendel Guide in a series of books devoted to Quebec City and region, Quebec, World Heritage City is illustrated with historic images and superb photographs by Luc-Antoine Couturier. Each location is explored in detail, as the reader, as if on a guided tour, discovers the exterior of the site – and its relationship to the city – then enters the interior to view architectural elements, symbols and significant objects. Overall, the books offer a wonderful account of the cultural influences – French, English and American – which have marked the evolution of the city since it was founded in 1608.

Quebec, World Heritage City, the first volume in the series takes you into the heart of the old city, exploring many of the most important sites, institutions and monuments of the upper town, including the Ursuline Convent, founded in 1639, the Seminary, established in 1663, the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity – the first Anglican Cathedral built outside the British Isles – and Quebec’s castle on a cliff, the internationally renowned Chateau Frontenac Hotel.
