Founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain, Québec City is the oldest walled city in North America and the cradle of French civilization in North America. Recognized in 1985 as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, its historical merits are entrenched. From narrow old streets to heritage houses, from the Plains of Abraham – site of the famous battle of 1759 between the troops of Generals Montcalm and Wolfe to the Citadel and the city's fortifications – one feels the past breathing new life into the air. For those who live here, Québec City affords a landscape of pastoral calm, often-surreal beauty, remarkable architecture, and the powerful Saint Lawrence River. |
