    Wonderful place to walk
    Wonderful place to walk. We hiked down and enjoyed the sunset here. Wasn't crowded at all and had a nice evening.

    Joan of Arc. Tell the boys I'll follow you.
    Brilliant floral displays round a very impressive statue.
    Not sure why she was used to commemorate French soldiers who died over 300 years after her, so we sat on a bench singing some Arcade Fire, as it seemed appropriate.

    Imposing monument
    Monument Samuel De Champlain stands at one end of Dufferin Terrasse, on the escalier Frontenac, near the Chateau Frontenac and close to the Place d' Armes. Samuel De Champlain was the founder of the first permanent French settlement in North America. Starting in 1620, he built his residence in this area, surrounded by the palisades of the St Louis Fort. This is a very imposing monument, most probably fitting the man, regarded as the "founder" of Quebec!

    CANADA AT ITS BEST
    A gift from Alberta to Quebec for its 400th anniversary, this collection of iron horses is quite effective, set against the background of the St Lawrence River. Horses were important to New France and Alberta plus places west, between and east too. Those shipped over in 1665 came from the royal stables of Louis XIV.

    Fantastically layed out space for entertainment
    This area is all new, with the Videotron centre at top and the Grand Marche next to it, its a nicely layed out entertainment complex. We were lucky to visit in the summer when Cirque Feria was performing every night at 9pm. Everyone was up close enjoying the complimentary show. The parking is plentiful and only cost $10.

    Nice piece of work.
    The bust of King Louis XIV is located in the middle of Place Royale, in Old Quebec. It's a rather nice piece of work in a lovely square in the old city.

    Huge monument
    The 13 metre high Monument of François de Laval was inaugurated in June 1908. It is located at the top of the Côte de la Montagne, opposite the Louis-Saint-Laurent building. François de Laval was the first bishop of Quebec. The bishop is standing at the top, wearing the miter and holding his crosier. He looks at the characters who are at the base of the monument: a woman who personifies Religion, a student who recalls the founding of the Minor Seminary by Laval, an Indian who listens to the words of the priest and an angel who raises towards him the palms of eternal glory.

    It's a statue
    Interesting tidbit of history that is often forgotten in Canada's telling (perhaps because of Canada's absence).

    FOR THE HISTORY LOVERS
    A Father of Confederation, Cariter was instrumental in getting French Canada to sign on to what would be the Dominion of Canada. Quebec's first parliament building was located in Parc Montmorency. It was in Quebec City in 1864 the preliminary version of the then British North America Act was formulated. He also strove to have Quebec keep the French civil code for its basic legal regime. The bronze statue is a fitting tribute to a leading figure in Canadian history. The park itself can be visited heading down to or coming up from the Lower Town. Behind the statue are good views over the St Lawrence River.

    AMONG THE ELITE OF THE EXPLORERS OF NEW FRANCE
    I had no idea the Jolliet of Marquette and Jolliet fame, discovers [well, western European discoverers] of the upper Mississippi River had a monument in Quebec City. Their great voyage in 1673 paired two interests: Father Marquette for missionary work and fur trader Louis Jolliet for commerce. His marked off monument is to the left of the building if taking the funicular up to Dufferin Terrace. I use the term 'monument' as Jolliet disappeared, missing as of May, 1700. A subsequent mass for his soul was held in Quebec City on September 15, 1700. A sign of his prominence as a trailblazer in New France is his [bottom, far right] statue on the facade of the National Assembly building where his name is spelled with one 'l'.

    HERE'S TO 'BILKING THE TOLL GATE'
    Cornelius Krieghoff was Dutch born. Certainly the greatest Canadian painter of the 19th c, his work featured French Canadian common folk, winter settings and indigenous figures. It was great to stumble across the bust, striking a serious pose, while heading to the Parc du Bois-de-Coulonge. It was too bad it was not located in a more prominent place, befitting the importance and acclaim of his artwork. 'Bilking the Toll Gate' is my personal favourite of his works, the gatekeeper irate as the sleigh whisks along not having paid the toll. This was one of his paintings he did in several slightly different versions.
