What to Do in Quebec City in December
In Quebec City, Holiday fever takes over the city as soon as December arrives. The first snow brings its load of themed and indoors activities and we have a lot of them to propose while you wait for the big night.
Doughnuts from A to Z
In Quebec City in December, La Folle Fourchette, culinary workshops and hardware, located in Limoilou, is offering you a chance to rediscover a Christmas classic: grandma’s doughnuts. Not only will the baker, Mrs. Marcil, teach you how to make your own doughnuts, but she will also give you some ideas to give a modern twist to your usual powdered doughnuts recipe. This activity is only offered in French. To know more about the boutique and its workshops:

A Visit at the Museum
No day in the old city is complete without a visit at the Musée de la civilisation. The museum renews its exhibitions a few times per year, and every new one will teach you about fascinating subjects. In December, discover the uncanny resemblance between ancient Greek statues and their contemporary lookalikes in the surprising exhibition Mon sosie à 2000 ans. Then, follow a multisensory path through Ici Londres. This exhibition will take you through an immersive experience where you will get to discover the British capital’s creative side. Check out all of Musée de la civilisation’s current exhibitions and the ones coming in a close future on their Web site:
