10 Most Enchanting Streets In The World

When Quebec City was founded in the early 17th century, its French founders began building in a style reminiscent of their homeland, and though the modern city has several contemporary additions, its traditional architecture is still very much present today, with the Rue du Petit Champlain a particular charming example. Lined with boutiques and delicatessens selling local specialties, Rue du Petit Champlain is also home to the famous L’Escalier Casse-Cou (‘Breakneck Stairs), the oldest of Quebec City’s many staircases linking its upper and lower town, though the Funiculaire du Vieux Quebec is a less taxing way of seeing the charming street from a bird’s-eye view.
