Panache Restaurant. Quebéc City

Panache Restaurant. Quebéc City

Panache Restaurant. Quebéc City

Panache is an award-winning four-diamond restaurant nestled within the stone walls and exposed wooden beams of a maritime warehouse dating back to 1822. A dining room offering exceptional intimacy, along with stunning views of the St. Lawrence River, Panache is a dining destination popular with both locals and visitors to Québec City. The tone is established from the moment you walk into the building, the tables elegantly set with silverware and crystal, catching the natural light streaming in through the windows and the glittering lamp fixtures. Everything seems light and airy, an impression enhanced by the relaxed, friendly manner of the staff. Panache sources much of its produce from its farm on Île d’Orléans, which you can see from one of the window tables. It specializes in what it terms as “high-end comfort food,” offering a contemporary twist on local Quebec specialities. When chef Louis Pacquelin isn’t in the kitchen, he can be found on the farm on Île d’Orléans.

Montréal Botanical Gardens

Montréal Botanical Gardens

Montréal Botanical Gardens

The Montreal Botanical Garden (Jardin botanique de Montréal) is a large botanical garden in Montreal, Quebec, Canada comprising 75 hectares (190 acres) of thematic gardens and greenhouses. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2008 as it is considered to be one of the most important botanical gardens in the world due to the extent of its collections and facilities. The garden was founded in 1931, in the height of the Great Depression, by mayor Camillien Houde, after years of campaigning by Brother Marie-Victorin. The grounds were designed by Henry Teuscher, while the Art Deco style administration building was designed by architect Lucien F. Kéroack. It serves to educate the public in general and students of horticulture in particular, as well as to conserve endangered plant species.

Fall Foliage in Quebéc

Fall Foliage in Quebéc Canada

Fall Foliage in Quebéc Canada

Fall is in the air and with fall comes the spectacular annual display of turning leaves across the east coast. Since we live in Las Vegas, mostly evergreen, we decided to visit Québec this year to see the fall foliage and to enjoy the food and ambiance of Montréal and Quebec City. Every fall, the Québec City area comes alive in an amazing blaze of autumn color. You can make the most of your journey by consulting the fall foliage map that tracks the changing fall colors across Québec. Quebéc offers leaf peepers some of Canada's best fall foliage viewing. Maple trees dominate the Quebec landscape, thus maple syrup making in the spring and leaf peeping in fall are two of the most popular seasonal activities. Other autumnal foliage headliners are yellow birch and American beech. [Read more…]

Jacques Cartier, Verrazano and France in the New World

Portrait of Jacques Cartier by Auguste Lemoine 1895 after François Riss. Musée d'Histoire St Malo

Portrait of Jacques Cartier by Auguste Lemoine 1895 after François Riss. Musée d’Histoire St Malo

Jacques Cartier (1491-1557) was the first French Explorer to explore the New World. He explored what is now Canada and set the stage for the great explorer and navigator Samuel de Champlain to begin colonization of Canada. Cartier was the first European to discover and create a map for the St. Lawrence River. In 1838, the painter François Riss received an order by the city of St Malo to produce a portrait of Jacques Cartier (1491-1557). It was reproduced in 1846 by the painter Louis-Félix Amiel in Quebec City. The original painting of the imagined Cartier by Riss was destroyed in a fire at the old town hall in 1944. This version is one of many replicas of the lost work. It was executed in 1895 by the librarian of the city of Saint-Malo, Auguste Lemoine (1850-1908) for the the city of Paramé and now hangs in the St Malo civic history museum. There are no known contemporary portraits of Cartier.

Civilization

Every society has a specific set of ideas and customs, and a certain set of manufactures and arts that make it unique. Because ancient civilizations continue to influence us today, and because I love history, I have devoted many posts to prehistory and ancient civilizations.
