A visit to Place-Royale is like a step back in time to the early days of New France. It was here that Samuel de Champlain founded his “abitation” in 1608.

Learn all about this cradle of French civilization in North America at musée de la Place Royale. Admire historic Notre-Dame-des-Victoires Church, the oldest stone church in North America (1688). And don't miss the immense fresque des Québécois, which retraces 400 years of the city's history.

    Place Royale in the centre of Old Quebec transports you back in time! It is wonderful because it is not simply an old building in the middle of many other modern buildings. Instead the whole square is from the 1600s!
    Quite a beautiful area to explore, especially as it is one of the oldest European settlements in Canada!!
