The Gite (B&B) du Vieux Port has it all: a charming Guesthouse with two genuinely kind, authentic and a very knowledgable bilingual host named Francois, and equally charming Martin, who compliment each another as each are gentle hosts, and a very cute schnauzer! All this and it is a perfect location,location,location too! Breakfasts: this was a meal to look forward to that started with a wonderful selection of fruit on a platter (my favorite was the papaya and pineapple!), fresh orange juice,and the main dish which was French crepes with beautiful pear and blueberries, another day was a whole-wheat crepe topped with a French style omelette w Quebec cheese. AND the coffee was magic in the mornings. (one morning my coffee was sculpted by a 🌺,merci Martin! )The breakfasts were made with care and it showed in their presentation. Every day we were surprised and delighted! Breakfast would carry us well into mid-afternoons when one must stop for a libation (naturallement!) of Cassis or an Aperol Spritz (two new favourites) . Charming Guesthouse: if you are looking for an authentic French lodging in the heart of the Old City, this is it! The two rooms have beautiful natural light, and are immaculately kept. Each one of the 2 rooms, only, each have their own charm. The rooftop terrace has a magnificent(!) container flower garden tended daily with love by Martin. Superb location: it's a beautiful walking city so bring good walking shoes, a must: the Chateau Frontenac is a 5-minute walk, Museum of Natural Civilization is a 3-minute walk, Musee des Beaux Arts is a 30-minute walk. We welcomed the walking because it helped us built our appetites for the delicious dinners and wine. We had a rental car that we used one time only to visit île d'Orleans (you must do!) . We leave with such good memories and believe we experienced the best of Queb c City, all beginning with Gite Vieux-Port. Would we return? Yes! In a heartbeat.
