Québec City, Basse-Ville (No. 1)

Quebec, also Québec, City of Québec, Quebec City, or Québec City (French: Ville de Québec), is the capital of the province of Quebec. In 2015 the city had a population of 540,994.

The narrowing of the Saint Lawrence River proximate to the city's promontory, Cap-Diamant (Cape Diamond), and Lévis, on the opposite bank, provided the name given to the city, Kébec, an Algonquin word meaning "where the river narrows". Founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain, Quebec City is one of the oldest cities in North America. The ramparts surrounding Old Quebec (Vieux-Québec) are the only fortified city walls remaining in the Americas north of Mexico, and were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985 as the 'Historic District of Old Québec'.

According to the federal and provincial governments, Québec is the city's official name in both French and English, although Quebec City (or its French equivalent, Ville de Québec) is commonly used, particularly to distinguish the city from the province. In French, the names of the province and the city are distinguished grammatically in that the province takes the definite article and the city does not.

Quebec City is located in the Saint Lawrence River valley, on the north bank of the Saint Lawrence River near its meeting with the St. Charles River. The region is low-lying and flat. The river valley has rich, arable soil, which makes this region the most fertile in the province. The Laurentian Mountains lie to the north of the city. Upper Town lies on the top of Cap-Diamant (Cape Diamond) promontory. A high stone wall surrounds this portion of the city. The Plains of Abraham are located near the edge of the promontory. Lower Town is located at shore level, below Cap-Diamant.

L'école de danse de Québec

L'école de danse de Québec est située dans l'ancienne École technique, construite en 1909, sur Langelier. C’est ici que ma fille la plus jeune passe de temps.

Quand on pense aux cégeps, on pense en général aux «collèges classiques» mais il y avait aussi des centres de formation spécialisés qui ont été impliqués. L'Ecole technique, par exemple, a été intégrée en 1966 au tout nouveau Cegep de  Limoilou.

Ce n’est qu’en 1979 que le bâtiment du boulevard Langelier change de vocation. L'école technique était géante (quatre ailes!), une partie a été cédée au CLSC et l'autre à l'OMHQ (qui en a fait le seul HLM de Québec avec service de cafétéria).
