Claudette
Claudette worked as a nurse for 35 years and so she knows how to take good care of her guests. She believes that guiding at Château Frontenac is a privilege.

Jean-Claude
As soon as he moved from Europe several years ago, Jean-Claude soon fell in love with Quebec City and decided to settle in the historical district.

Michel
Michel is an outstanding entertainer, with a great sense of humor. He loves to personify characters of history. He’s completed a filmmaker program at the Conservatory of Dramatic Art, located next to the Château Frontenac. That might be why he enjoys working in Old-Quebec so much. Nevertheless, Michel always wants to make his guests to have a good laugh during his tours.
