We were able to experience life as it was in New France during the French Regime in the 17th and 18th centuries as “Les Fetes de la Nouvelle France” the Festival of New France was happening. For several exciting days, over 700 artists and performers in costumes were out and about breathing new life into historical Old Québec. The event showed the first families of New France sharing the adventures of their arrival and their lives here. The dancing, music, storytelling, re-enactments (street performers and parades) added more good memories to our trip.
