Fontaine de TournyPass-by Only
Although only recently installed in Québec City, the Tourny Fountain has a fascinating history. Six copies of this work, designed by French sculptor Mathurin Moreau in 1853, were made, and it was exhibited at the 1855 World's Fair in Paris. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
The first Saint-Louis Gate was in the late 17th century under the French Regime at its present location. During the British Regime, the army closed the gate doors at night to restrict travel between the city and outlying areas, which disrupted trade and hampered the city's development. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
Everyone familiar with Old Quebec is familiar with the tall old elm tree on Rue Saint-Louis at the corner of Rue du Corps-de-Garde, and what appears to be a large cannonball trapped in its gnarly roots. Calèche drivers slow their horse's gait to point it out to their passengers. Curious passers-by invariably stop and try to figure out how the cannonball could have gotten there, and when. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
