3.2 Anse du Cul-de-Sac

from Place-Royale from today to yesterday, Quebec city. (videos) Hosted by Musée de la civilisation

For a long time, the banks of the St. Lawrence River at high tide stretched right to the foot of the Chevalier House, creating a natural haven where small boats could moor. Known as the Cul-de-Sac, it was the colony’s first port. In 1748, it was home to the King’s shipyard, where two high-tonnage ships—among others—were successfully launched. In 1854, the city filled in the area for the Champlain Market. Start the video Map of Place-Royale
