Where else in the area is worth staying to extend the visit? A few particulars inside: [more inside]

We have a long planned shot trip via car to Quebec (City) for the Jazz festival the last few days of June and into July. It’s hard to get good information on the expected situation there in three weeks–naturally enough. Should we just cancel and plan to go some other time?

What do you think is fun in Quebec City? My wife and I are going to Quebec City for the long weekend. Any recommendations on what to see and do? We like street markets specifically but we're up for anything, especially touristy stuff. We're staying in the city center but we'll have a car. Neither of us has been there in at least 10 years.

I've got a couple of days between appointments in Montreal in late August. I could stay in the city but I'm feeling like it could also be nice to get a car and drive somewhere peaceful, interesting, or beautiful where I could relax. Any recommendations?
