What to expect

1

Naval Museum of Quebec

Located on Pointe-à-Carcy, the Musée naval de Québec tells the story of the St. Lawrence River and the Naval Reserve of Canada through a rich collection of artifacts, uniforms and navigational instruments. This free museum, unique in the region, offers captivating stories about naval battles and the men and women who marked the Canadian Navy.

2

Gare du Palais

Built in 1915 in the heart of Lower Town, the Palace Station seduces with its castle-style architecture, similar to that of Château Frontenac, with its glass hall and decorative steel arches. Still active today as a Via Rail and intercity bus terminal, it is one of Canada's heritage railway stations.

3

St. Roch Church

Built between 1914 and 1923, Saint-Roch Church is the largest church in Quebec City, with its medieval Revival architecture mixing Gothic on the outside and Romanesque on the inside, as well as its two 45-metre steeples. The spiritual and historical heart of the neighbourhood, it is home to one of the few remaining active crypts in Québec City and today hosts the immersive AURA show, which transforms its vaults into a painting of light and music.

4
Cartier-Brebeuf National Historic Site

It is located in Limoilou at the confluence of the Saint-Charles and Lairet rivers. This 6.8 hectare park commemorates the wintering of Jacques Cartier and his companions in 1535 - 1536, very close to the Iroquoian village of Stadaconé, and the establishment of the first residence of Jesuit missionaries in Quebec City.

5

Maison Dorion-Coulombe

Built in the last quarter of the 18th century by the Dorion family, this former farmhouse was saved from demolition in 1975 before finding refuge on the banks of the Saint-Charles River in Limoilou. Today, it houses the Saint-Charles River Interpretation Centre and serves as the gateway to the linear park, with a permanent exhibit on the history and riparian ecosystems.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
