Tucked into the far reaches of the Vermilion Cliffs wilderness, right on the border of Arizona and Utah, lies a place that looks more like a psychedelic dream than a piece of Earth.

There are cities that remember history. And then there are cities that live it. Old Québec, nestled within the walls of Québec City, is the kind of place where every step echoes with the past, where cannons guard the cliffs and church bells sing over ancient plazas.
