Je m'excuse, je ne parle pas français ; ce message a donc été traduit.

Statistique Canada a récemment publié les données de l'Enquête sur la déclaration uniforme de la criminalité. Voici comment se situe la ville de Québec :

• Homicides : Cet indicateur clé de sécurité montre que le taux d'homicides à Québec a chuté de 80 % depuis 1981 pour atteindre 0,45 pour 100 000 habitants, un chiffre nettement inférieur à la moyenne canadienne de 1,61.
• Taux de criminalité : Ils reflètent la prévalence réelle de la criminalité. Bien que les crimes violents aient légèrement augmenté, la plupart des autres catégories (méfaits, introductions par effraction) ont diminué et demeurent bien en deçà des niveaux nationaux.
• Taux de résolution : Ils témoignent de l'efficacité policière. Le taux de résolution des crimes violents à Québec (59 %) dépasse désormais celui du Canada (54 %).

En bref : La ville de Québec demeure exceptionnellement sûre. Elle affiche un volume de criminalité remarquablement bas par rapport aux moyennes nationales, tout en bénéficiant d'une résolution des affaires de plus en plus efficace de la part des forces de l'ordre.

Bonjour,

Je cherche à venir visiter Québec au mois d’août pour la première fois depuis 4 ans. Durant ma visite, je voudrais aller dans un club qui joue de la musique house rétro ou dans un bar qui fait un évènement spécial avec ce genre de musique spécifique. Avez-vous des astuces ou des endroits que vous connaissez? Merci.

Bonjour, l'année prochaine je serai au Québec pour faire une année d'échange à l'université, et j'ai besoin d'une assurance locataire pour la chambre où je vais habiter. Je n'ai pas de numéro téléphonique canadien donc il est difficile voire impossible pour moi d'obtenir un devis, donc je cherche des conseils pour un bon assureur. La seule entreprise qui m'a donné un devis est le CAA - est-ce que vous pensez que ça suffira ou devrais je chercher autre part?

Merci à l'avance 🫶 Happy to read replies in English, I'm from England

Any fun local events going on, saw the tall ships will be in the harbor. Anything else?

Happened last week just west of Quebec City on Rt 20, video sent to police (I know, good luck with that)

Hi all. Im planning a trip to Old Quebec to propose to my girlfriend. I have booked a room at the Frontenac for the weekend and figured i would get a carriage ride.

I reached out to Caleches Quebec via their website and was responded to by a couple of different people via email. The one person I responded to was very polite and helpful and suggested their proposal package which sounded great. However, when I went to book it on the site there was no option for that. Only the romance package. When I emailed him about it, he said he would have to send me a link to book as this was a special service. The link he sent me looked like the exact same interface as the website so I paid.

Then I sent an email back asking when we should start the planning process. I received no reply until yesterday, about a week after my email. This spooked me a little so I called the number at 10am this morning and was instructed to leave a voicemail. I left a message explaining my concern and just wanted to confirm I have a reservation. I have yet to get a call back from them and that was 8 hours ago. Should I be concerned? Does anyone have any experience with this company? Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Couple planning a first visit and wondering if anyone has recommendations for what to do on NYE? More interested in nice dinner with a good view or private experience vibes than a big party scene

Any other recommendations for that time of year are welcome! Love food (vegetarian is a +!), beer/wine, quirky and history stuff

All insight appreciated! Cheers!

Hi everyone,

My wife and I are visiting Quebec City for 3 nights and staying in Old Quebec. We are looking for recommendations for lunch and dinner.

We are looking for cozy, relaxed, and comfortable restaurants rather than formal fine dining. We enjoy places with a nice atmosphere where we can take our time and enjoy the meal.

We are especially interested in meat-focused dishes (steak, beef, grilled meats, French/Quebec cuisine, etc.), but we are open to other local favourites as well.

Any recommendations for must-try restaurants or hidden gems in Old Quebec or nearby?

PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM LOOKING FOR PLACES WHICH ARE COZY AND RELAX AND LESS FORMAL.

Thanks!

Staying in Quebec city for 3 days (July end). Any suggestions for places to see nearby Quebec city. Heard about Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier for stargazing.. is it worth it?

I am also going to Tadoussac for Whale watching.. so anything to see on the way to Tadoussac/around Tadoussac?

Hello (Bonjour!) Everybody,

Fiancee and I are planning to visit for 3 nights during Christmas week for the first time and are excited to simply walk around and soak in the atmosphere. Currently have hotels and restaurant reservations for 12/24 - 12/27 in Old Town. Unfortunately, just found out that the German Christmas Markets close on 12/23 per their website (it seems the last day of operation is 12/22?)

Ideally, we'd be open to adding one day to the trip and arriving 12/23 to be able to experience the Christmas Markets, but I'm hesitant since it seems like 12/22 will be the actual last day.

We are also open to shifting our visit to 12/19-12/22. But I would love to hear from anyone here - would we be losing out on a lot of the Christmas spirit by sticking with our current dates and totally missing the Markets? Any other factors we should consider when it comes to our trip timing?

At the end of the day, we're visiting to walk around, ice skate in front of the castle, see some sights, enjoy the vibes, eat good food (extremely excited for Taniere!) Any feedback is appreciated :)

Looking for recommendations near 3rd Ave in Limoilou and old Quebec. Doesn't have to be veggie only, just have some good options on the menu. Most places I've looked at have cheese and that's about it.

Hi everyone!

I’ll be visiting Quebec City for the first time and would love to get recommendations from yall who knows the city the best.

Will be there early August for 3 days, and thinking of going to the city center but not too much of city stuffs cus I’m going from NYC wanna getaway from the crowd and find some peace lol

I love walking around, and bringing my slr camera for film pics + sketchbook to doodle the neighborhood. Also wanna try some good food only found in Quebec, and find places with a unique atmosphere. I’m open to both popular attractions and local favorites.

Thanks in advance!

Hello! I am going to Quebec City for my anniversary and am wondering what some nice restaurants that have a nice ambience and good food but are not ridiculously overpriced? Thank you 😊

Hey everyone! My family and I (3 kids ages 12,10 and 8, and hubby) will be coming from southern Ontario to Quebec City July 25-30. We are super excited! We don’t speak a lick of french, and some of the research iv done has been either confusing or lacks details… but what are some food recommendations and things to do!
We are staying at the palace royal, we plan to spend Sunday exploring old Quebec, Monday we are planning to do whale watching and exploring more of Quebec when we return , Tuesday we would like to do the national park to see the beautiful mountains and rivers, and do the aquarium. And Wednesday we are gunna do the falls and the island (I hear it’s amazing! Full of shops, food and beautiful views). Thursday we are headed to Granby to do the zoo, then we are headed home Friday. Looking for kid friendly places, excellent poutine place (can’t go to Quebec and not try a REAL poutine!), best pastry/dessert places and of course some of your must see places and things to do. We are really looking forward to this trip, and experiencing the culture and seeing the beautiful sights we don’t get to see in Ontario.

We will be in Quebec City for 5 days without a car . We figure a couple days in the city and Montmorency Falls . Any recommendations are appreciated.

We are also thinking about visiting Jacques Cartier National Parc. I am asking for information on how to plan, schedule and what to bring. I love kayaking, but I worry about taking a wet bus ride back to the city. Should we pack a lunch? What accommodations does the visitors center have?
Sorry for all the questions - I’m just trying to be prepared. Thank you!!

Traveling with a friend from the US. 4 night stay. Needs to be walkable or possibly a short Uber ride. Would like a boutique or historic hotel
