This is a boardwalk on the edge of the Upper Town looking at the St. Lawrence River over into Levis. It is a must to walk along this expanse past the Chateau Frontenac down to the Plains of Abraham. Sit on a bench and enjoy the view, people watch or have a snack.

Stunning view of the St-Lawrence River and the tip of the Island of Orléans. If you want to take a longer walk you can go up to the plains of Abraham by using the stairway at the end of the boardwalk.

The Boardwalk or Terrase Dufferin overlooks the river and has a great view on the city. Also provides a nice backdrop for a romantic stoll or an energizing afternoon walk (It's a long boardwalk with lots of stairs).

You can see the city of Levis across the majestic St. Lawrence River; boats, barges and ships on the river; and possibly even a cruise ship... More

Great views of the St.Lawrence River. You can follow the boardwalk all the way to the Plains of Abraham with ( be warned) stairs/stairs and also benches along the way.

The Terrasse overlooks the Lawrence River and it is located at the foot of the Chateau Frontenac. We have visited Quebec during Summer and most recently during Winter time. There is always something going on at Terrasse Dufferin - from street performers to the large ice slide in Winter. Photo opportunities abound regardless of the time of the year. The... More
