LindaKE Posted November 28, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Which train station do I want in Quebec if I want to leave for Montrael from near the dock? Choices are Gare du Palais Station, Sainte-Foy, and Charny. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephraim Posted November 28, 2008 #2 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Gare du Palais is in bas-ville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp2001 Posted November 29, 2008 #3 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Yes, Gare du Palais. If you have only one rolling suitcase, you could even walk (less than 10 minutes walk). Here is a map: http://maps.google.com/maps?rls=com.microsoft:fr-ca:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7WZPA&um=1&q=carte+gare+du+palais+qu%C3%A9bec&fb=1&cid=0,0,16798294645372658472&sa=X&oi=local_result&resnum=1&ct=image and most ships dock in the Dalhousie st. area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaKE Posted November 29, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted November 29, 2008 My goal is to leave home with one bag each, but I'm afraid that may not work. We always like to leave a little room when leaving home in order to have room to bring purchases back with us. I was thinking that we could do a tour that would let DH see Montmorency Falls then leave luggage at the train station if it is close enough and use our remaining time to see some of Old Town. The train doesn't leave until 1:30, so, if we debark early, we should have some time for sightseeing. From the map jp2001 attached, it looks like that might be doable. Since we would be checking our luggage for the train ride, would there be any objection (terrorist threat) to our dropping off our luggage then doing some sightseeing?

jp2001 Posted November 30, 2008 #5 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I don't think you can check bags on the Quebec-Montreal route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaKE Posted December 1, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Thank you for the info. I just checked and on the train that would accomodate a debark schedule, there is checked baggage, so now I have to try for reservations on the plane, train and hotel. Thanks!

Jana White Posted December 3, 2008 #7 Share Posted December 3, 2008 We did exactly the same thing a couple of years ago. We took a quick taxi to the train station where they held our luggage for the day while we walked around, had a nice lunch and really enjoyed Quebec. It was then a wonderful train ride to Monteal. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
