The contestants have their first real language barrier in Québec City, where 80% of the population speak French as a first language. We see the contestants racing through the historic lower town to the cobbled square of Place Royale. This is where the city was founded in 1608, and also where you'll find the oldest stone church in North America, Notre-Dame-des-Victoires. The picture-perfect streets of Petit-Champlain are nearby, lined with boutique shops and restaurants. Old Quebec is like travelling back in time.
To fill up on food, head to Grand Marché, a large market where local producers sell everything from seafood, to maple syrup, to craft beer.
And just a 15-minute drive outside of the city will take you to Parc de la Chute Montmorency, a historic site with a breathtaking 83-metre waterfall.
