Autumn in New England & Quebec is a special time. The tapestry
of fall colors spreads throughout the countryside. On board
the American Orient Express, we will journey along
less-traveled routes through mountain passes, river valleys
and small towns. The cultural centers of Montreal and Quebec
City are rich in history dating back to the 1600s. Rail travel
through this region during the fall is breathtaking. The train
will take you off the beaten path through mountain ranges,
fertile agricultural valleys and expansive forests. Experience
a scene from yesterday as shopkeepers stop and wave as the
train passes by Main Street — blowing its whistle along the
way. |

City, Quebec |
|
|
|
Arriving in Quebec City this
morning, we detrain and tour the old city. We journey
outside the old citadel to the Plains of Abraham. It is here
that the British defeated the French to determine which
European power would claim supremacy over colonial North
America. This afternoon, choose a tour of Montmorency Falls
and the surrounding fall colors or spend free-time exploring
the city. We return to the Old City Center for a tea social
at The Fairmont Chateau Frontenac. The balance of the
