This is my overview video of my “Filmmaker of the Year” grand prize trip from Tripfilms. It’s pretty hard to capture my entire trip in just one video, and yet I still tried. In case this gets you itchin’ for more of my South America travels, you can check out my other posts about the trip here.
If you want to explore the coastline of Quebec on a boat, you can do that. You shouldn’t, though. If I were you, I’d spend your time doing something else. You still should watch the video, though. It explains why your time is better spent somewhere else.
“Robert,” you might be saying, “I don’t want to watch all of these videos on Quebec City. There are sooo many! Isn’t there one video that gives an overview of that quaint city with a healthy does of European sensibilities?” Yes there is. This is that video.
Sure, you could drive through the countryside of Quebec and see the beautiful natural surroundings. Or, if you have a connection with a helicopter company, you could fly over the beautiful natural surroundings and see the sheer scope of pristine wilderness. If you have that choice, might I suggest taking the helicopter ride option?
There’s a great hotel to check out in the Charlevoix region of Quebec. What is it? Why, it’s Hotel La Ferme, the hotel in this video! Inside the hotel, it’s like an IKEA with better made furniture. And the hotel is really close to some great skiing, I hear. I “hear” about the skiing because I visited in the fall, and even if I were there in winter, I wouldn’t be skiing. I try to avoid opportunities to break my legs. That’s why I never borrow money from gangsters.
Another great thing about the hotel: their restaurant, Les Labours. This ain’t your American hotel restaurant that you eat at just because it’s convenient. This place is legit. And if you’re still hungry, why not hop on the Massif de Charlevoix Train for a gastro train trip, which just happens to have a station at the hotel?
One less “S” in the title, and they’d be in trouble (unless you like Germany circa World War II), but luckily these three S’s stand for “Simple,” “Snack,” and “Sympathique” (which in French kind of means “pleasant”). And boy oh boy, do they nail each. No false advertising here.
