Set to a stunning natural backdrop, Québec City is perched on an
imposing headland overlooking the mighty St. Lawrence River. It boasts
both a modern city center and a European-style historical core (a UNESCO
world heritage site complete with charming cobblestone streets) that
make it an ideal venue for movie shoots and television productions.
