This statue is surrounded by a lovely flower garden that we visit every time we go to the Plains area. We always look for inspiration for our own gardens.

Well worth the walk around and a beautiful statue of Joan D'Arc which will stimulate your reading and inquiry into her unique personage, and the varied views of her in history.

I was really interested to see the Quebec version of Joan of Arc, because I have found statues of her in Paris & New Orleans. Quebec has her brandishing a sword while the other places have her holding a flag. Anyway she is in her own park on the edge of the Plain of Abraham. Like so much of the... More

Not remarkable as statuary but it is a nice sight on a bus tour. This is better than the one we have in Portland. I had not thought of the proximity to the battlefield before reading another review but it is appropriate. I would not make a special trip to see it but if you tour the area you will... More

The Joan of Arc monument in the Plans of Abraham was a terrific find. We came across it on an overcast day, but the lack of sunshine did not make this French-style garden any less stunning or colorful. The statue of Joan of Art is very moving, and apparently there is a very similar statue of her in Paris. We... More

This little jardin is just lovely, and the conceit of the major bronze stature of Joan of Arc delightful. Linger in it and enjoy the seasonal plantings, the beautiful flowers, the elegant silver maples.

One of the loveliest sites in Québec, all year round. A funny place to go for Halloween. And a funny symbol: Ste-Jeanne-D'Arc, ready for a fight, a few hundred meters away from the battle fields...

This is a wonderful stop for any traveller, the gardens are stunning and it's a lovely place to just spend some time catching up on your postcards, blog or to take a well deserved moment.
