A lot of initial fog. Had to wait for some time before it lifted enough so that I could take hand held photos.

Many thanks, Chief! The old part of the city is attractive - the new part not at all!. I agree, I do not like big cities. I live on the South Shore of the St. Lawrence and when I moved here there was still a farm at the end of our street (now filled with duplexes), one small grocery store and large tracts of wooded areas. Today the whole place is filled with apartment blocks, condos, every kind of eatery one can think of, a Costco, Walmart, Home Depot, three large supermarkets, etc.

Yikes!!
Yeah, I've been in and even lived in big cities, and hated it. Some people swoon when they hear Paris. I HATED it!

Lovely tour, John! Is the toboggan still running near the Chateau?
Many thanks, Mike! Yes it is. I should have taken a shot for you. Mind you, it is not as free running as in the old days. They have these lanes now with sidewalls, for lack of a better term, and a big wooden fence around the whole thing, that prevent you from sliding into the toboggan next to you or to tourists walking on the Dufferin Terrace. Just for safety, I guess, although who knows, maybe there were potential or real lawsuits at some point.
