This majestic fountain, adorned with numerous figures and boasting 43 water jets, stands in front of the Parliament Building. Inaugurated on July 3, 2007, the fountain was a gift to the City of Québec by La Maison Simons, a local family retail business, to mark the city's 400th anniversary.
The nearly 7 m (21') tall fountain has been a source of pride for Québec City residents ever since it was first installed. It is illuminated at night, to the delight of passers-by.
as you admire the fountain, enjoy the surrounding urban scenery. On the other side of the street, you can see the fortifications and St. Louis Gate, and behind the fountain is the Parliament Building.
As you are right next to the Parliament building, why not visit the seat of the provincial government and take one of the free guided tours?
The fountain is a very busy roundabout and it gets busy, so be careful
