THE ULTIMATE HISTORICAL WALKING TOUR Explore Old Québec, Discover French America
	THE STORY OF FRENCH AMERICA Lafayette, Louisiana; Port Royal, South Carolina; Cœur d’Alene, Idaho; Des Moines, Iowa; Ste. Genevieve, Missouri; Eau Claire, Minnesota; Prairie du Rocher, Illinois… Why are so many place names in the United States of French origin? The answer is straightforward: 75% of present-day continental U.S. was, until the 1760s, made up of French territories that were part of New France (Nouvelle-France) with Québec City as its capital. Our tour introduces numerous local and cross-cutting global themes as we visit the most noteworthy sights in Old Québec
	A CONTINENT AT STAKE
	FRANCO-AMERICA Has France ever tried to reconquer territories or recover influence in North America? The American Revolutionary War, the Louisiana Purchase and the short-lived Empire of Mexico are three major events providing answers to this question. Unlike France, French Canada under British rule observed but never intervened. Today, France and French America - Québec, Acadia and Louisiana - are remote cousins sharing a common language embellished with different accents and expressions. From both sides of the Atlantic, French-speakers (francophones) of today use these connections to develop business opportunities and major cultural projects.
	EVOLUTION OF FRENCH AMERICA
	QUÉBEC and FRENCH CANADA TODAY The former capital of Nouvelle-France, Québec prominently features hundreds of historical monuments and plaques, a unique architecture as well as French and British institutions that have survived to this day. Furthermore, Québec is the largest French-speaking capital city of the Americas and a UNESCO World Heritage site. As a result, Old Québec City is the ideal historic district to help history enthusiasts connect the dots of the Story of French America
