A tongue-in-cheek archival film documenting a day in the life of a veteran horse-drawn carriage driver. Though the tourists that flock to the historic avenues of the Old City have changed considerably, the Old World charm of Québec City is timeless.

    @sixam--> I asked our collection curator and this is what he said: The “documentaries” from the 1950s were all staged so that it would be easier to film. The filmmakers probably paid the driver to drive people around.

    Does he ever get paid? Nobody gives him any money. Or does he work for the city?
