We drove this very enormous park where the battle between the French and English happened. There is even a monument on the exact location where General Wolfe (British) is said to have died on the battlefield. The collection of canons was superb, ranging from the really old 1600 ones to newer WWII guns. On Saturdays there is a rugby game... More

The apartment our family rented for our short stay to Quebec City was just across the street from this enormous, beautiful park. It offered a lovely view of the river, and numerous pathes for walking, jogging, or biking. Would also be a perfect place for a picnic on a warm day!

Didn't have much time to have a good look around but I liked the feel of the area nice and tidy and looked after.

beautiful view of the St. Lawrence and this huge park is where the major battle between French and English was fought. Great place for a picnic or to let the kids run free and play some frisbee or fly a kite.

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.
