Maison Henry-Stuart is a Regency-style English cottage at 82 Grande Allée O in Québec City, built in 1849. A guided visit gives you a look at the home and the early 20th-century bourgeois lifestyle of the English-speaking community. The Stuart sisters, who bought the house in 1918, helped preserve its heritage character. Allow time to see the rose garden, then enjoy tea and lemon cake at the end of the tour.
