Individual USB sockets are also available to allow passengers to recharge their electronic devices.

Quebec City: A fortified Jewel

Quebec City is the capital of the Canadian province of Quebec. Located on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, Quebec City is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985. Its historic centre - Old Quebec - is the only fortified city in North America.

Once the gateway to New France, Quebec City is now a buoyant city where festivals and major cultural events take place throughout the year. The exceptional natural parks in its region and in the east of the province are opportunities to discover the beauty of Quebec's great outdoors.
