Going to Quebec City in May with my elderly parents. What are some nice, easy going activities we can do? My parents and I are driving up to Quebec City for a week in mid-May. (We're coming from NY so it's a 6-7 hour drive.) We'll be staying in an airbnb in Old Quebec, near the Notre Dame Cathedral. I'm looking for some recommendations for fun stuff to do with them that wont be too taxing. My mom is in great shape but my dad has some mobility issues. He can walk around, but slowly and with frequent breaks. He would not use a wheelchair, so that is not an option.
Things they enjoy on vacation include: nice parks and gardens, outdoor festivals, music, art, animals, guided tours (we will probably do a gentle walking tour), churches, outdoor markets...etc. We are already planning to ride the funicular, see the waterfall at the Parc de la Chute-Montmorency, and visit some nice churches. My dad is interested in history and indigenous culture, so we will probably visit the Huron Wendat Museum at some point. We have some elementary French between us (enough to read signs and pamphlets, but not really enough to converse.)
I know these threads tend to veer heavily towards restaurant suggestions, but I"m really not looking for those unless they're REALLY great and not that expensive. I'm trying to keep the budget manageable, so we will probably do some meals at our airbnb.
Looking for any recommendations for fun stuff I can do with them that isnt too expensive or physical. Any events during mid-May would also be great!(And if you want to throw in a spa recommendation for me, that would be appreciated. I will definitely need some time on my own while we're there!)
