4.4 Québec’s First Cemetery

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

The site of Québec’s first cemetery is in an adjacent lot north of the Côte de la Montagne, halfway to the top. The cemetery was used from 1608 until 1670. Some 300 people are buried there. They were either originally from France or were Aboriginal people who converted to Christianity. Today, a single wooden cross marks the cemetery’s location. There was a time when several small crosses indicated gravesites, as is shown on an insert illustrating the city of Québec, which is part of a map by Jean-Baptiste Franquelin, cartographer of New France.
