The Citadel

This fortification at the juncture of the Old City wall and Grande Allée holds a changing of the guard ceremony mornings at 10AM complete with traditional bearskin hats in the summer months, weather permitting. Still used as an active military base by the Royal 22e Régiment, an entirely French-speaking regiment in the Canadian army. Also serves as the official residence of the Governor-General of Canada when he/she visits Quebec City.
