'I ziplined over 272-foot waterfall in 32C with views of Canada's most idyllic city' Standing on the cobblestoned street of Rue du Petit Champlain as the rain hammered down, the towering Le Château Frontenac’s reflection glimmered on the windows of shops and slabs of stone.
Fairmont Le Château Frontenac is the signature sight with the red-brick hotel towering over the city and St Lawrence River, acting as the perfect navigational marker.
The goat cheese and spinach puff pie, featuring caramelised onions with honey from the Château, was simply an explosion of fresh flavours and easily one of the best restaurant meals I have had.
Its origins can be traced back to the First Nations who resided in the area, but it is more well known for the later discovery by explorer Samuel de Champlain in the 16th century.
Like Charles de Gaulle, Alfred Hitchcock and Paul McCartney, I also had the pleasure of staying in one of the hotel’s luxurious rooms.
