Lower Town (Basse-Ville)
Present-day Rue de la Barricade (Street) is one of the few sites where the December 1775 American attack on Quebec City is commemorated. Benedict Arnold was defeated by British troops and local militia and was eventually repulsed to the US border days before the July 4th Declaration of Independence.
Quartier Petit Champlain
Today Quartier Petit-Champlain is one the most valuable shopping areas in Old Quebec. In the 1600s, the discoverer of the Mississippi River - Louis Joliet - had his home here. Later, the 19th-century Irish shipbuilders lived here, reminding us the vibrant maritime life along the St. Lawrence River.
