• Saint-Jean-de-l’ile-d’Orleans - St-Jean boasts remarkable neoclassical architecture, reflecting the economic prosperity tied to maritime life along the St. Lawrence River in the 19th century. It is also recognized as one of the most picturesque traditional French-Canadian villages in the entire St. Lawrence Valley. The village center highlights the significance of Catholic institutions and traditions in French Canada.

• Sainte-Petronille - Ste Pétronille provides a stunning view of the St. Lawrence River, the site of key naval battles during the British Conquest, and in the distance, the promontory of Quebec, which Charles Dickens referred to as the “Gibraltar of America” in his 1842 work “American Notes.” The “New England” architecture of Ste-Pétronille dates back to the 19th century when Anglo-Canadian merchants left the city to escape the cholera epidemic that hit the port of Quebec and Canada in the 1830s.

• Quai De Sainte-petronille - Offers a magnificent view of Quebec City, serving as a reminder of the significance of maritime traffic in Canada’s history. Enjoy the perspective from which many newcomers first saw Canada.
