This place is a must! To have more informations on Quebec City history or just to hang out. Sports: Cross-country skiing and skating in the winter time, roller or running otherwise. The colors of the nature, the air, the view. Everything is wonderful. This is truly the heart of the region. Have fun discovering Quebec's history, visit the Martello tours.

Huge park right outside the old city - super close, well maintained with lots of areas with different bits and pieces to see and do, plus it's a big historical site which makes it even more interesting. Art galleries, gardens, the nature walk and more make it an easy place to spend a day.
