Eddie was a fantastic tour guide. Knowledgeable, sense of humor, and great English. The grounds are beautiful. The calvados was delightful. We can't wait to share what we are bringing back.

Great tour in a beautiful setting. The guide was very helpful and knowledgeable (I think his name is Antoine?- he did an amazing job) I would highly recommend a visit this Calvados Distillery to all my friends visiting the region

My father bought a bottle of Calvados aged for twenty years, called Réserve des Seigneurs (the Lords’ reserve!), and... my goodness! It is, so to say, complex, velvety, sweet and refreshing at the same time. Personally, if I did not know it, I would never be able to tell it comes from apples. It is honestly one of the best drinks I have ever had.

Citadelle of Quebec

The Citadelle of Quebec is an active military installation and official residence of both the Canadian monarch and the Governor General of Canada. It is located atop Cap Diamant, adjoining the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City. The citadel is the oldest military building in Canada, and forms part of the fortifications of Quebec City, which is one of only two cities in North America still surrounded by fortifications, the other being Campeche, Mexico.

The first fortifications in Quebec were built by the Governor General of New France Louis de Buade, and completed just in time for the Battle of Quebec in 1690.

After the British conquest in the second half of the 18th century, the problem of Quebec City's defences grew more acute.
