This is one of the most important historic sites anywhere in Canada because it was here that the modern history of Canada was determined. The government has done a good job in retaining well groomed open spaces so one can get a feel for the famous battle that took place here. It's best to employ a guide when driving along... More

This beautiful park, next to the old city is well worth a detour. We visited it in the winter and had the pleasure to go snowshoeing at night with Amedee, an excursion organized by the Maison de la Decouverte in the parc. ( Melanie was incredibly professional and lovely: she included us in the group, even though we registered a... More

Once the site of a famous battle, the Plains of Abraham have evolved into a nice urban park 250 years later. Perched up a cliff overlooking the St Lawrence River, it's a great place for a walk, a run, a picnic, a pickup game of soccer, or a quiet read. And, of course, the views. Those looking for history in... More

Gorgeous park with huge historical significance. Amazing cross country trails. I wish I had more time to explore - I'm sure there is somewhere to rent skis from. Even in the cold we went for a lovely walk to see the river. Lots of street parking but make sure you feed the meter. More
