Culture and History
Founded by Samuel de Champlain in 1608, Quebec is the oldest city in French America! From the discovery of our lands in 1534 by Jacques Cartier and the first meeting with local Natives to the arrival of the French and British pioneers until now, Quebec is considered as the best mixed of European and American culture. Just go by the Old Quebec City to walk on the oldest slabs of Canada or to see the fortification that once served as a defense.
