7 May, Some very smart people have put together a fantastic, "virtual 400-year journey" relating to the birth of New France. There is a 3 part, very entertaining multimedia presentation as well as uniforms and other historical artifacts that bring this part of Quebec's history to life, and the historical significance of the battles of the Plains of Abraham to...

We wandered through this park one afternoon, which we stumbled upon it quite by chance, and were glad we did! We went out walking with no real destination, save lunch, I would now make a point of returning!

Well, you're in old Quebec. Might as well, it's not exactly breathtaking, but still worth your time, it's a 40 minute walk all in all and it offers very nice views over all the city.

Perhaps we've been spoiled by visits to the Normandy Beaches, Verdun and Gettysburg, but there was little interpretive signage here to explain what was certainly a major battle in the War between Britain and France over control of Canada. It's a nice park to be sure but otherwise just a place to stroll; you'll learn very little here. Perhaps a... More

To discover Quebec city, walking and admiring flowers or people skiing in the middle of the city in winter. Great view of the Citadelle and St-Lawrence River.

It was just like any other battlefield. It was well kept and did have many historical sites. The views were great and one could understand why it was at this spot because it was a great for defending the old city.

This is a nice walk area where you view many cannons and the like and can read the history. A pretty area.
