Un séjour à la belle province by CoenM

We spent most of our time between Quebec City and Montreal, two cities joined by WHAT RIVER?

Our hotel in Quebec City was located a couple of hundred meters down the Terrace Dufferin from what HOTEL AND NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE, a grand example of the hotels built by the Canadian Public Railway and frequent subject of city photos given its prominent location on the heights near the river?

What LOCATION, likely named for a local fisherman rather than a Biblical patriarch and now part of The Battlefields Park, was the site of a pivotal 1759 engagement in the French and Indian Wars, a British victory that would see them take control of the city?

The Citadelle, built by the British as protection against an American invasion, is the official home of the Royal 22nd Regiment and one of two official residences of what REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BRITISH MONARCH, a position currently held by David Johnston?

While having poutine was a given, we also ate this traditional MEAT PIE, most often made with beef or pork, which is named for vessel it was originally cooked in.

One of our side trips was to Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, where we visited a minor type of this SACRED BUILDING, which in Catholic practice has its status granted by the Pope through the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments.

In Montreal, we stayed a couple of blocks over from the campus of what English language UNIVERSITY, founded by royal charter in 1821 and named for a Scottish merchant?

One of the things we did in Montreal was go up the tallest inclined tower in the world, which was built to support what BUILDING's roof (which was installed late due to the fabric being held in France over payment issues)?

My older son's favorite thing to do in Montreal? Ride the subway, which is known by what NAME, which is also used by the subways in Paris, Mexico City and Washington DC?

We spent one morning taking a river cruise on what TYPE OF BOAT, best known for its river cruises on the Seine? Its name literally translates as "fly boat," but the "fly" part of the name actually refers to the area of Lyon in which the original boats were built.

Our hotel in Montreal was a quick bus ride from the Rue Saint Viateur, home to one of the city's legendary bakeries for what FOOD, whose Montreal style is boiled in honey water before baking?

On our last full day in Montreal we went to the top of Mount Royal, which was named by what EXPLORER in honor of his patron, Francis I of France?
