The soul of Quebec City

and Canadian dollars and the chaotic organization of the 400th celebrations will scare off visitors this summer.

That would a shame because the city, famous for the distinctive architecture of the Chteau Frontenac and the fortifications ringing the old city, has much to offer.

Including a hug.

Mireille Poulin, 23, a social service student at the city's Universit Laval, and her band of people huggers, will be at Place d'Youville just outside the stone walls this summer with their bilingual signs, Clins gratuits/FREE HUGS.

"It is simply to make people happy," Poulin said. "It makes people smile."

Nearby Poulin and her band replica Cartier love bracelet Platinum stand two black leather clad Punks with their dogs. Metal studs on one boy's jacket, spell out, "Drink, fight f k."

"We would like to hug them," Poulin said. The boys are unmoved.

In some ways, time has passed by Quebec City. Peace and love, and Punk both not dead here.

Place Royale, below the Dufferin Terrace, is built over the site of Samuel de Champlain's original Abitation, dating to the 17th century.

Also in Lower Town, near the cruise ship terminal, the restaurants, inns and antique shops along St. Paul, St. Andr and Sault au Matelot streets have a definite 19th century European feel.

In front of the National Assembly is the ornate Tourny fountain, a gift to the city from Peter Simons, current head of the Simons retail chain. At his own expense, Simons rescued and restored the fountain, first erected in the mid 19th century in Bordeaux, a city in southwest France.

The "branch" places for nightlife in Quebec City are Grande Alle, with its terrace restaurants and discotheques, and Cartier, where Mick Jagger once dined at a restaurant called Graffitti.

But rue St. Jean, closed to motor traffic in the summer within the walls, is Quebec City's soul.

At the end of St. Jean, between the Saint Patrick Pub and the Italian Portofino restaurant is rue Couillard, named not for Health Minister Philippe Couillard, but for his ancestor Guillaume Couillard, one of the first farmers in New France.

Down the sinuous street, the Auberge de la Paix youth hostel still displays a peace sign.

And two doors farther along is a city landmark, Chez Temporel, a French caf that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, from caf crme to cream ale.

Across the street is a plaque commemorating Calixa Lavalle, who wrote Canada here in 1880 for replica cartier juste Un clou bracelet the Socit St. Jean Baptiste, to mark June 24 celebrations that year, not for July 1, Canada Day.

Backtracking up St. Jean, near Portofino is Les frres de la cte, a French style bistro with a bouillabaisse to die for.

Also on St. Jean's pedestrian strip is Pantoute, a non chain bookstore whose name means "not at popular replica Cartier love bracelet all." It's across from the Archambault chain's book and music store.

Le Chantauteuil and Saint Alexandre are two bars offering a variety of wine and draft beers and music in the summer.

But Bar Chez son pre, a bote chanson with a long past, where chansonniers like Gilles Vigneault got their start, has been closed to make way for an expanding Crocs plastic shoe store.

Looking for medieval garb? A sword and nice lace up shirt or dress? La Table Ronde on St. Jean has what you need for the annual Fte de la Nouvelle France.

Chez Paillard, an airy newcomer to St. Jean, offers a sandwich salad combo starting at $10.

Outside the stone walls, where St. Jean widens into Place d'Youville, is the rebuilt Palais Montcalm. Boasting exceptional acoustics, the concert hall is the venue for Bernard Labadie's renowned Les Violons du Roy.

Across the square at the Capitole de Qubec theatre, the French version of the musical Les Misrables will be presented this summer.

Il Teatro, a terrace restaurant (and also a hotel) in front of the Capitole, is a great, sunny place for lunch in summer.

Continuing up St. Jean is St. Matthew's Anglican church, now a library.

Dominating the other monuments in the cemetery beside the church is the cross to replica cartier love bracelet cheap commemorate Robert Wood and his wife, Charlotte. Some say Wood, born in 1792 when the duke of Kent was stationed in Quebec City, was the illegitimate son of the duke and his French mistress Julie de St. Laurent. The duke of Kent later fathered Queen Victoria.
