Review from Loli L.

According to certain guidebooks, you can either walk straight uphill towards the Chateau Frontenac (or the rest of Vieux Quebec) from the Gare du Palais or you can take a cab -this last option came highly recommended.
We opted for something different. We walked down Rue Saint Paul, to Rue Sault au Matelot, down Rue Notre Dame, Rue Sous le Fort, until we reached Rue Du Petit-Champlain. We walked by cute shops, tempting restaurants, and more than a handful of landmarks along the way. This practically level and incredibly scenic route led us to the beloved Funiculaire.
Though we did have to climb either two or three stairs to enter the giftshop, it was a short, but warm and beautiful ride up towards the Frontenac. I pitied the folks who arrived to this gorgeous destination via cab. Best 2$ ever spent.Listed in: Happy times in Quebec

It looked a bit cheesy but hey - it was very windy and a bit cold so we gave this a try. It was fun - a cable-like car going down a very steep angle with a very nice view of the St. Lawrence River. It was only CDN$2 one way down to Petite Champlain from the Chateau Frontenac.
